No one is tone deaf. Matching pitch is a skill that can be learned (actually it’s 3 separate skills and you may already be good at 1 or 2 of them without knowing). I studied voice in college and saw a fellow student go from being unable to match pitch to being one of the most sought after singers in our class. It just takes practice and usually a patient teacher who knows what exercises will help.
Lol you can't drop something like that and then not mention what the three skills are!
Okay, so I misremembered slightly. The 3 skills make up perfect pitch specifically. If I’m remembering correctly now, there’s hearing relative pitch in your head, there’s hearing the absolute pitch of songs from memory, and there’s matching the pitch of your voice to the pitch in your head or to another instrument you hear. So there may actually be people who are very good at two of the skills but you’d never know because they don’t have good voice control.
Okay, that doesn't get my hopes up, but thank you for more info.
I learned how to hear my pitch through a pitch tuning app. After singing to it for hours for 2 years now? I have a better sense when shits not hitting
