EVERYONE can sing. (Well, minus mute people, and people without voiceboxes, and people who can't talk yet.)
Some people can sing well. Even if you are pitch-deaf, you can train your ear, and then your voice to sing wonderfully.
I really want to teach music, so I can help you. You need to get to a piano and learn how to use it. I hope you don't mind that I'm reusing an answer because it's silly to type something twice.
You should always have good posture. Attain this by bending over to touch your toes and rolling yourself up and your shoulders back.
Practice sightreading. If you don't know what that is, it's reading music that you've never seen before and singing it. It helps to make you sing on pitch.
Also, I suggest learning a little about music theory so that you always know what is going on in the peice. Is there a crescendo? Mezzo di voce? A ritardando at the end? What is the tempo? If you can't answer these questions, a brush-up on music theory is in order.
Get a straw. Sit up straight, and have your feet on the floor-one slightly in front of the other. Try to do this in front of a mirror. Place the sraw in your mouth, and breathe in through the straw. Your back should widen as you breathe in, but your chest should not rise very much at all.
Say "sqeelo" (skweeloh) with an italian accent on one note and then move up and up until you hit the top of your range.
Sing, " Bumble bee-ee bumble bee-ee bumble bee-ee bumble-bee." Play this on the piano, starting on middle C, and play CE DF EG FA GB AC BD C. Play the notes similar to that pattern coming back down the scale.
Go to the higher part of your range and sing, " Ee-ooh-ee-ooh-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee," legato, full voice.
I highly recommend the book Singing for Dummies available at Borders and at Barnes and Noble. It comes with a CD that is really great with warm-ups, which are always good to practice.
I hope I helped, and if you have more specific questions, plese feel free to ask!
My screenname on AIM is I got a monopoly (minus the spaces), and feel free to cntact me if you don't understand anything or if you want more help. I'm trying to learn how to talk into my computer, and so maybe I can sing these for you or help you somehow that way.

MelLeDisko answered Wednesday August 23 2006, 1:48 am: Well, I'm gonna say no also, because either so naturally sing good or you can't, hence, you'd need a teacher. And you really can't teach yourself to sing good because you don't know the right notes and if you're not singing correctly and plus a teacher would help you learn how to control your breathing and how to hit higher notes and stuff. I hope I helped. <3 [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]
