Even falsetto doesn't have to sound "feminine". At this point I can sing a LOUD falsetto--and therefore hit virtually any note a tenor does. And I've been told it all sounds like full voice. It's all a question of what you want to to do--and if you're willing to practice--formally or informally-- to do it.

And of course if you want to sing Russian bass, all you have to do is get sick or stay up all night--(at least that's what I find)--my range drops about a fifth (as from G to C). And you're much more likely to have a lower range in the morning. (I'm damn glad I'm not a real tenor--they often have to hit high notes strongly in the morning--when many rehearsals are.
