Dood. I sucked as a singer until I joined chorus. It's unauditioned, but Joan has really high expectations. She's very encouraging and coaching and all that. So you learn to sing in her chorus, and if you truly can't keep up you'll probably leave. But most people can. I think most people can sing reasonably well (especially if they're in a chorus) but we're taught to believe that only some people can sing, and that if you can't sing professionally you shouldn't at all, and that's bullshit.
Or as the lyric to one of our songs go (and it's a proverb from somewhere in Africa): If you can walk, you can dance. If you can talk, you can sing.
