Dear mike and Vocalistmates,
I suppose that in a static unchanging world this might be true. However, as
it stands, your comment doesn't seem to leave any room for possible
development [ie, strengthening certain muscles, improving muscular
coordination, changing technique, etc] Soubrettes can grow. And more than
a few tenors began as high baritones (although I don't recall any bassos who
started out as tenor).
