you are making an assumption that a normal breath is shallow. and,
even if it were shallow, how long a phrase are you talking about. it is
likely that you can talk just as long, on one breath, as any phrase you would
ever sing. singing uses less breath than talking so, you would need even
less breath for singing than speaking for an equal duration.
Singing uses LESS breathe than talking? Are you sure about that? Singing at
full volume uses less breath than chatting at tea? It's not hard to test this
theory....take a speaking breath and give yourself a full volume phrase of
around 15 seconds...compare that to the same phrase done with a nice low full
breath. No one said suck all the air in the universe in....sometimes you have a
quarter rest to get a good sized low breath in that will sustain you for a long
phrase.
