In Shakespeare's time the women's parts were played by boys whose voices had not yet broken. When their voices broke, they could move on to men's roles. Actors were not surgically encouraged to have high voices as singers in some parts of Europe were. Nor did they use falsetto voices except for comedy parts like the nurse (and possibly the witches in Macbeth)
