Hi Wim,
I just posted a clip of a woman who sounds to me like she has the
necessary vocal fold mass to convincingly sing in the "robust" register
you mention. Please let me know if this is the sort of thing you're
talking about. Her usual singing range is between G2 and Bb4. Thanks for
your recent posts, they are fascinating!
To hear the clip, go to:

I don't necessarily think she sounds like a tenor, anymore than David
Daniels sounds like a mezzo, but that's not the point, it's about
efficient use of a particular mode of phonation, no?
