Depending on what one calls falsetto, yes. Not a true "clinical" falsetto, though, in the sense that it is quite loud and capable of a dynamic range comparable to my lower voice. My sense is that is closer to a woman's head voice than to a man's falsetto.

LOL! You should see my "equipment" :) It is a generous term for my $10 PC microphone and analogue on-board sound card! Some day I will bust out my grounded mic and record digitally in a drier room. Sorry, I only had a few minutes to come up with something to make a point about who knows what...

Someone needs to write a grant for my little PC. Seriously, though, I hope to use the recording studio at Mills from now on... ;-) My apologies for the 2nd (4th) rate recordings, I hope they were still useful!
