Hmmm, I must be an exception, along with a number of my fellow sopranos. I'm
fairly short, but I can go down almost an octave below middle C - low enough
to pass for a tenor if I feel like it! I can go pretty high too (G# above
high C)... I'm wondering about these "correlations" because I've seen quite
a few exceptions. And despite being short, I've got a bigger voice than many
people who are taller than me.

Jennifer, who's voice is still growing while her body is staying the same
(heightwise :o)
