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’m just going to say I can’t, because I’m tone deaf. A lot of people who have musical ability don’t understand that some of us just can’t tell the difference between notes and tune. Even time all sounds the same.

Think of singing voices as instruments like a guitar.

Guitars come in many shapes and sizes and can sound very different from each other, but every guitar is capable of making music if you know how to play it. So just like a guitar, if you practice and learn how to play your instrument, you too can sing!

Everyone has a face, but not everyone is attractive. Everyone has a brain, but not everyone is smart.

So yes, everyone can sing.

Limitations apply.

Assuming you aren’t tone deaf, you could be trained to sing well. How well is subjective as it would depend on your anatomy. Everything from tongue size to diaphragm strength impacts voice capability.
