Does singing harmony come natural or did you have to learn how to do it?

For most people, they have to learn how to do it. You learn that (usually) thirds sound more harmonious than, for example, sixths. If you sing in a multi-voiced chorus or choir, the practice makes you more used to being able to make up "your part" in a potential harmonic chord. I have rarely met a person who can do well at singing harmony who has had no music theory or practice in singing in harmony.

My friends can harmonize almost whenever they want to and they do it effortlessly and without music. I can harmonize individual notes, like the last note at the end of a song, but it takes work for me to be able to harmonize for a whole phrase. I find it much easier when I have at least sheet music in front of me to help me.
