I love singing so I can anwser this: Search your area for a place that has singing lessons. Take them and you will get good. Remember, there is no such thing as 'no one can sing'. It's just not being able to sing good...until you get the right kind of training.

I love to act and love theater as well. I, too, am not much of a singer. There are, therefore, two parts of this answer for you. First, if you love theater and acting and feel that you want to be an actor then you don't need to sing. It's essayer for what is called a "triple threat" (great actor, singer, and dancer) but it's not necessary to be one. I suggest that you hone the skills you do have and work with them.
Okay, part two: I suggest that you try to find a vocal coach that does both Broadway type of singing and opera. Opera training is the best vocal training however it sounds like you'd rather do Broadway singing and someone that teaches both would teach you the basics correctly and also how to sing for the stage without hurting yourself.
Good luck and keep reaching for the stars!!

If you're still in school, I would recommend joining your choir at school. Get to know the choir director there, and after he/she has gotten to know you, he/she will be able to recommend someone to train you. My daughter has taken voice lessons for over 4 years now, and private coaching is almost imperative to turn an ok voice into a really great one. It's all about learning how to relax your neck muscles, open your mouth wide, and support with your diaphragm.

Maybe I'm the wrong person to advise you. I started taking voice lessons because I was already an exceptionally good singer with a dream of turning pro. My eventual lifetime earnings were something like three bucks. I learned exactly one thing of value, but it was very important. There is a natural tendency to start singing a little low and then adjust up. It's called scooping. People go "Huuappy birthday to you" instead of "Happy birthday to you." You have to keep your diaphragm a little tense before you start. It's an easy habit to acquire.
It's a very good idea to learn to play an instrument to accompany yourself. Having to rely on other people to back you up doesn't work. I learned to play guitar, but I was awful. I started to learn to play piano, which I thought was much easier, but I didn't keep it up.

Ask around to see if there is a school choir or a teacher in your area that you could go there and learn. If you can't find anyone, buy some instructional cds. They really help you learn how to sing. You can also just try out for non-musicals. Follow your dreams, girl!

Call the music/vocal department of the universities in the city where you live and ask them to recommend voice teachers for you.

you don't need to sing to get into theatre, but if you think it is a must, you can search your area for teachers, our go to a local music store, they usually let people put papers up to advertise that they are teaching and instrument or vocal or whatever.
