Just a few minutes ago a contralto I know (yes, a real one!) was showing me a little memo gadget that she has: she spoke into it and the sound that came out was even darker than her normal speaking voice. I tried it and my voice came out much lighter with less presence in the low notes (noted by her rather than just subjective). I immediately formed the (testable?) opinion that her lower resonances were just in the range that the little device reproduced the best, and that mine were too low for it. I think this is so to a greater or lesser degree with all recording equipment, and Dre's suggestion to Lisa to compare other voices on the same recording is likely to be quite instructive! john
