I do the same. Singing a fully-supported pianissimo
is exhausting over a long period of time (mostly for
the body), and singing a breathy, "easy" pianissimo is
tiring to the voices -- although I know that some
people sing in what they call "half voice" to mark,
and claim that it spares the voice during a long
rehearsal. It's always made me wonder whether "full
voice" for those people is actually pushing.
