sungil,
i was just wondering about spectrographs (sp?) of david daniels and marilyn horne, in particular. i have played daniels' version of 'ombra mai fu' to various students. i ask them what they think, without telling them it's a guy, and they all start "she sounds...".
i don't know if you saw his post on the subject but, tako was wondering if the vocal fold behavior was the same for this type of male falsetto and the female head voice. i think there is no physiological basis for thinking otherwise and that the differences would be analagous to the differences between a flute and a piccolo or an oboe and an english horn.
