Tenshu, I took singing lessons from an opera singer for a year on and off. And I got the Roger Love CD with exercises to sing and increase your range. As to your question, you most certainly can learn how to sing. There are different ways to sing,but you can learn intonation, range, tone, timing, and volume. It's an instrument like any other. One thing, for example my voice is a tenor and somewhat thin. I don't think it will ever sound like those gritty flamenco guys. Most Spanish people I heard have a little gruff or hoarse voice anyway, it seems to be natural. And then smoking and drinking I hear will make your voice that way too. Nat King Cole smoked a lot of cigarrettes. And maybe it's even harder than guitar for foreigners, because you have to really get the accent down. Like singing blues I would think. So many inflections and mannerisms and even a way of thinking. But I think you can do it Tenshu, if you really want it. Maybe start with Columbianas or rumbas and then go down (ma jondo) from there. I'm studying singing too...maybe someday we can do some Fandangos together. :)
