The ancient Greeks supposedly sang those old Greek plays in their big theaters and the Israelites also are known to have sung in their meetings. An opera - trained singer is able to sing for hours with no strain on their voice nor lungs ,etc. whereas a modern "belt" singer is quite apt to develop many throat problems because of the unnatural strain on one's vocal chords ,etc. one can project the voice quite far with traditional voice:-training and be heard quite far without the need of microphones and amplifiers. I believe Michael Ballam has said these same things. So. Could our wonderful King Benjamin be doing what was customary in those days and sang his message?

Along with these excellent links of Old Testament teaching, there may have been another simpler additional explanation: Sun and/or rain or both.
