The size of the vocal folds, the strength of the instrinsic muscles, and the
various characterics of the lamina propria will be the chief factor in
determining the voice. Of course with training one can extend the range of
the voice, but to a certain degree it is what it is, and an attempt to make
it different will often lead to trouble. A flute is a flute and a cello is a
cello and they should both perform music that suites them.
