Common Vocal doubts

Ever thought that one need to learn to breathe to sing?
The answer is a most probably a no. Why?

Actual singing is a more expressive way to deliver your message, so the normal method is to speak. Why create more effort during singing when you want to deliver a more expressional message. When you laugh and cry, do that take you extra effort to think?

Instead of focusing on the common breathing mistakes and diaphragmatic compression, the objective of my lessons is to produce a singing voice that is released and minimal from tension.

So why some people run out of air during singing?
I believe strongly that singing is just like speaking. Subconsciously when you speak, chances are you will not run out of air. However, if you do, the reason is that you push too much air through your vocal cords causing your cords to be unavailable to perform a full cord closure( a falsetto ).
One need to have a balance air flow with cord closure to produce a sound desirable in not just speaking and also singing.
If a person has a correct air flow and overcompression with cord closure, the sound is most proably going to be squeezed or nasal.
