You may doubt what I say, but with professional training almost anyone can learn to sing.

I guess it depends on what level you might be referring to.I am a musician.I have an excellent ear and can arrange.I have sung with other musicians and have seen they struggle sometimes to stay on key.

Then you have people like John Philips <Mamas & Papas> and Brian Wilson who were considered geniuses with no training.

Its like some have a way with cars or sports.They have the God given talent and maybe refine it more or take more instruction to be better.

The fact is there are certain mechanical details that need to be mastered (either naturally or with training) that determine if you can hold pitch or not. I know that once I learned to control the diaphragm for support, it opened a whole new level for me. Without some kind of support, there is no way to stay on pitch.

Yes and I have been told I am good at it. I sang in a Barbershop Quartet for over 15 years and do solos in church every few months. I will be doing one this Easter in a special pogram. My biggest singing thrill was to sing the National Anthem for 10,000 people in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. 

Yes, I love to sing and have sung in numerous choirs, but I don't have the voice that I wish I had.  My daughter makes her living as a singer.  Oldbuddy, I surely wish you would post a video somewhere of your Easter solo.  Also, I love Barbershop Quartets.  There's just nothing like good harmony!

You like good harmony?The King Singers will blow you away how magical their vocal arrangements are.Ck em out via YouTube.

The Association from the 60s were also very underrated how complex their vocal arrangments were.

I sing even though I don't have a good singing voice.  I also dance, have danced a lot.  Makes me happy.

I'll sing along with CDs/radio and music at church, but on my own? Not nearly as comfortable doing that...

Sometimes I hear a song and it gets stuck in my head so I start singing it, I wouldn't give up my day job though for I cant sing for beans.

I am not a good singer, but I do enjoy singing from time to time. The first time I really sang was when I joined the youth choir at my church as a child. I love listening to R&B music with Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston and Anita Baker and others and wish I could sing like them. Like a lot of people I imagined myself getting famous and dazzling others with a voice I wish I had. I now just sing along to my songs on my walkman or sing to myself around the house.

If someone has a bad "ear," it is almost impossible for them to sing well enough anyone would want to listen.  I am bad!  Believe me when I say that!  No ear!!  That is why I sing whenever I am alone if I want.  Something about the ole car and shower makes it sound better.  Maybe something to do with acoustics in small places?  Or maybe my lack of an ear in ANY environment?
