Each different ‘voice’ has a different vocal range. For example for males, it’s easy to hit very high notes in falsetto (think justin timberlake/Barry gibb) but it sounds a bit weak and it’s difficult to hit low pitches that way. They most likely couldn’t hit the same notes using their ‘head voice’ or ‘stomach voice’. Head voice is a level lower, stomach one is lower again.
