Why do I run out of breath when singing?
Singing without the chest voice quality usually results in a breathy, weak sound because of the lack of vocal fold engagement. Moreover, when your folds aren’t resisting air properly, then you have to push out extra air to produce more sound. Thus a singer without enough chest voice often runs out of breath.

Should your throat vibrate when singing?
The first thing I want to point out is that your throat is going to vibrate whether you’re singing from your diaphragm or not. Vibration is normal, as resonance is what creates the fullness of the sound while singing. Tension however, is not, which is what often is present when we’re not singing from the diaphragm.
