I don’t find it hard to read & write while singing because I NEVER sing…at least NOT out loud!!! I might get distracted by something else, but singing usually isn’t it.
Not at all. Sometimes I’ll be browsing Fluther and play some music from YouTube on my phone at the same time. Not unlike doing homework wayyy back in the day while listening to the radio. Don’t usually sing unless I’m alone and my family is out on errands somewhere. Hate to make thier ears bleed with my croaking.
I cannot do it. I can sing along to a song, but the typing stops when I start to sing.
Experiment now: OK Google! Play “Shut up and dance with me” by Walk the Moon”!
I am trying wto type too many erros.
End test. Nope! I can’t do it. Honestly, I can’t even sit still when that song comes on!
Reading, speaking, writing, singing, it’s all using the same part of the brain so almost impossible to do it simultaneously. You can do very different actions at the same time like walk and talk, or chop onions and sing, but that’s different parts of the brain.
I don’t think it would be possible for me to read and write while singing. I get one active language channel working in my brain at a time – I don’t think I can work two or more at once. I even have a hard time thinking about other things while radio/TV or other conversations are going on, unless I can somehow tune the noise out of my attention and not listen to it. At the most, I might hum a wordless tune while reading or writing (or listen to music while not paying attention to the words).
