I'm literally tone-deaf with singing. It's unreal.

I'm not a deaf musician. I'm a musician who happens to be deaf.

I was actually tone deaf until I had tumors in my ears - I had very small ear canals - removed. Once they fixed that, I was actually able to sing in a pleasant manner.

I can sing, but my voice is untrained. I'd like to do a musical someday.

I am tone deaf.

Someone told me that you could learn to sing, and that there are muscles that if you build, you will sing.

I didn't know why I couldn't sing - all I knew was that it was muscular or mechanical. Then, when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, I was finally given the reason. I now understand that no one can sing with Parkinson's disease. No matter how hard you try. And in my case, I can't sing a note.

I don't believe in singing lessons. You can sing or you can't.

I can sing, but it takes an incredible amount of work for me to sound acceptable.

I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do.
