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 don’t know about everybody, but yes, most people. The voice is like any other instrument: you need training for it to sound good. (Source: personal experience!) There is this myth that some people are just born with perfect singing ability. Of course, talent varies, but if someone can sing well without any formal training, it’s usually because they have informal training and sing regularly in their everyday life.

Which brings me to my final point: yes, there is a small subset of the population who have no musical talent whatsoever and they will never learn how to sing (or play an instrument) no matter how much training or practice they get.
