Is it okay to stop breathing through my nose when singing?!


Question: Sometimes I notice that I stop breathing through my nose when I'm singing. I don't sing through my nose, I just stop breathing through it. Is it okay or will it affect the sound?

Breathing from your nose will bring warm air translated into humid air to your throat what will keep your vocal tract humid the way is supposed to be. If you breath all the time for your mouth your vocal tract will become dry and your voice is more likely to get tired and sore.

The sound should not change by breathing from your nose or mouth unless you change the use of your resonators.

The most you can breath from your nose, the better...but definitively do not breath all the time from your mouth just because your vocal tract will be dry.

Stay healthy and remember that your voice is unique and irreplaceable.
You are welcome :) keep on practicing :) Report It

    • Affects the sound, makes you sound pluged or nasely, try to kepp that pasage open at all times, helps with long and high notes especially.
    yes, yes. i agree with the person above me. not breathing through your nose is bad because it makes the sound come out different. there are certain types of songs that actually call for this but it is not recommended by me.

    trust me. i have been trying to sing forever with a stuffed nose. it's not nasel stuffed, my voice sounds fine when i talk, it's just hard to reach the higher notes and i can't hold a note for as long. [[nose breathing helps that too. the air goes in through your nose and out your mouth, one loooooooooonnnnnnggggg note. =D]]
