James here.....

I "mark" when I am first reading through a piece. I try to do one thing at a
time. It is important to mark properly, just singing softly requires too
much effort to do properly
and if not done right is not healthy. Humming works. I am just concerned
with the pitches and rhythm, not diction and polished singing.
