  Yea, some voiced consonants like L, M, N, R and maybe Y would work fine for singing, I think. Like if we only had words like “Hm”, or “Lt” (pronounced similar to “ult”), you could sing it fine.

    I mean those are already halfway to vowels. In Japanese, “N” can be it’s own syllable.

    well - Wikipedia seems to disagree, and says “common definitions include “the utterance of words or sounds in tuneful succession””

    and that was just the first place i looked.
