eli5 can anyone technically be able to sing?

If I practiced enough or got the right type of training, would I technically be able to sing well like some of our greatest singers? Is there an anatomical difference in their vocals cords that differentiates singers from people who cant sing?

I always think of a human singing like a instrument playing. An untrained singer is a instrument that is out of tune. It takes hard work, proper professional training and practice to get it in tune.
I would imagine if you had the time and resources, you can do it. Most people choose not to and naturally, they cannot sing.
I have a friend from my work who became a singer in her late 30s, she sings in a band now and always gets good reviews. She always said she didn’t think she could but she met a trained vocal coach and now she can hold a nice range. She sings very frequently to train those muscles and she is very good at it.
So bottom line: anything can be accomplished if you put the time and effort in.
