Can anyone really learn to sing—or is talent the deciding factor?

In this episode of The Voice Science Podcast, Josh reads a powerful essay by voice teacher Timothy Wilds that challenges one of the most pervasive myths in vocal education. From cultural conditioning to vocal pedagogy, we explore why so many people have been told they “can’t sing”—and what it really takes to reclaim the voice.

Whether you’re a beginner, a returning singer, or a teacher yourself, this conversation reframes singing as a human right, not a rare gift.
