Ultimately, I don't think you can teach a tone-deaf person how to sing. Some talents you're just born with, unfortunately.

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

But I'm tone deaf - window-shattering tone deaf. I can't sing for the life of me. I can't sing or dance, so no remake of 'Grease' for me!

I really don't have an ear for pitch. I can't sing at all, I can't hum melodies and I can't write riffs.

Everyone in my family is pretty much tone-deaf.

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

I don't sing very loud, which some people have given me trouble about, but we all have to figure out what our voices are, embrace that.

I don't over-sing anymore, which I used to suffer from terribly because I couldn't hear myself.
