I’m not s singer, but from the considerable amount I’ve read about Frank Sinatra, he developed his unique vocal style and technique early on, in part by understanding the importance of singing lyrics with genuine, not manufactured, emotion; and learning how to master breath control.
For the latter, Sinatra supposedly jogged and swam religiously, among other things; and from watching band leader Tommy Dorsey play the trombone. Dorsey’s style was very fluid—he “slid” from line to line without appearing to inhale. Over time Sinatra developed the same kind of “breathless” technique.
