I know for sure that you burn calories when you laugh but I am not sure about the singing and talking. i think so because when you move you burn calories. Not many i know, but some!!
TELL ME HOW I DID AND LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR RATING!!!

You don't burn calories when you sing or talk; however you do burn calories if you laugh about 5 minutes or longer.

Not a lot, but yes. You even burn calories just by laying in bed all day.

You burn calories by simply being alive (breathing etc). On top of this every single activity also burns some calories. This includes talking, singing, typing, absolutely anything at all.

It wont be a substantial amount mind you, but the answer is definately yes.

Okay, to all of you who said singing doesn't burn calories, try actually singing. Yes, it burns calories. Not like, hundres of them, but basically, being alive burns calories. Walking, talking, laughing, singing. Any physical activity. Even sleeping burns calories.
So the answer to your question is "yes, but not a significant amount."

missmad127 answered Friday July 21 2006, 2:29 pm:
yes because any time you move or use a muscle you are burning calories not much, but a few.

doing any thing like sleeping walking just sitting burns calories so talking singing or laughing would burn calories to but not much.

Nope, only exercise. I suppose that if you had a laughing fit your jaw would move up and down spastically and you might burn a few calories that way. Or if you never shut up and always kept talking. But I don't think by singing you would burn any.

You burn calories whenever you are moving, even when you are sleeping. So, yeah, talking, singing. and laughing burn calories, but not much!

TEENAGExHEARTS answered Friday July 21 2006, 1:38 pm:
you burn calories all the time, whenever you move. so yes to your question, but talking and singing doesn't burn much at all (like maybe 5 calories all day), laughing burns a little more then talking but not that much.
