From UESP: Draugr are ancient Nordic warriors who have been reanimated. Most draugr were followers of dragon priests in ancient times. When these priests died, their followers were killed, reanimated, and then sealed into the tomb where they would periodically awaken in order to worship the priests and transfer energy to them to maintain their undead state.
breathing isn't a prerequisite of shouting, all speech needs is air moved across vocal cords to create a vibration, they do have a big inhale before shouting unlike living things (the player) that just shout, since the players lungs have air already in them.
I get the concept behind it. but in all previous tess games I can remember fleshy undead draw breath. Not out of necessity but out of instinct. This is more so with Draugr because they retain more intelligence than your average zombie or skeleton.
