there are a number of opera singers who believe breathing should be
just like 'normal'. carlo bergonzi stated such in a master class i was at
and i think piero cappuccili's comment was stated in the book 'divo'. in
'the four voices of man' jerome hines gives a catalogue of various types of
breathing/support used in the singing of opera, one being the passive breath
used in speech. he describes it as phonating on residual air, followed by a
relaxation that creates an inhalation by vacuum.
