Some people are under the impression that only a select few are given the gift of singing, and that if one is born without that gift, then he will never sing. This is complete hogwash.
If you can speak, then you can sing. If you have the ability to close your vocal folds and blow air through them to create a sound, then you can sing.
This is the sounds your vocal cords make on their own

All the rest is a change in the space around the vocal folds. Learning to manipulate the space, is a process that takes time, much like Building muscle, or learning to ride a unicycle.
The truth is, that if you are willing to work at it, and work hard, then you can sing. There is no quick fix, and frankly, if there was, singing wouldn't be worth it. There is so much more reward to having a skill when you can look back and realize that all the blood sweat and tears were worth something. When you turn your trials and tribulations into human triumph.
If you aren't happy with the sounds you are making right now, that's OK, just keep practicing, keep your focus, and stay the path. It's OK if you lose your way, as long as you keep moving.
Practice Practice Practice!
