"Circular Breathing"
Andrea,
I think I'm confused by your definition of the term circular breathing. As it
applies to wind players, the term circular breathing is the action of holding
air in your mouth (specifically in the cheeks) and using this air to play the
instrument as you inhale to fill your lungs through the nose. I don't believe
this is possible when singing as the vocal folds require that air is passing
through from the lungs. This may be why you've received no answers to your
question.
