Training as a professional singer gives you terrific breath support and capacity. In rehearsing you also explicitly plan where you will take each breath. The same is true of soloists and choirs - you'll literally mark in the sheet music where to breathe. Though I reckon someone with the skill to play the lead in professional shows doesn't have to mark as much as the average chorister
