How can I sing with my asthma?

Camille C asked:


It’s hard to breathe correctly to sing because of my asthma. It gets pretty ridiculous. Any help?

Singing is out of the question with asthma and bronshitis, or any lung issue, even talking should be only if absolutely necessary.Sorry your going to have to wait until your completely over it.

I’m a singer and I have asthma too.
It’s all about finding a way to get enough air without sounding winded, right?
Well, practice breathing in with every note,
and I would reccomend doing more cardio excersizes, so you can make your lungs stronger.

I used to sing, in Church and in Musicals. My voice coach always told me not to sing with a cold, as I would ruin my voice. I would think that asthma or anything else,that causes you to strain your voice, would also affect your voice. I would rest it until after the asthma is gone.

I have had asthma all my life and have never missed a note. I have sung in church choirs since a pre-schooler, was all state chorus in high school and got a full vocal scholarship to the university where I got a BME in Vocal music. I am now 54 have been a church music minister for 29 years. I also teach private voice

How did I do it?

My doctors through the years kept my breathing and voice in peak shape with allergy medications and inhalers. I’d use my inhaler before I sang and had no problems at all.

Five years ago, they came out with a new medication called “Xolair.” It has cut down my asthma symptoms dramatically.

Talk to your doctor

Hey, If I can live with asthma and sing like a bird anyone can :)
Good luck and God bless my friend :))
