Talking tends to happen on the expiration phase, so you are not actually holding your breath. It is the air moving over the vocal chords that makes the sound.

Our vocal chords work when air passes trough them in a certain direction. Have you ever tried inhaling while you speak?
We don't hold our breaths when we speak, we just exhale. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to speak. Try holding your breath and speaking in the same time. :)

i don't think we hold our breath...i think we breathe out bit by bit as we talk...thats why when ur reading properly u keep taking some breath in enough to finish a sentence because there are comma's and periods...try it you'll see what i mean...if you run out of oxygen you can't talk no more so no we don't hold our breath when talking..

I don't hold my breath, I breathe out when I am talking, just never breathe in when I am talking you may inhale your spit.

I agree with the above. We don't hold our breath it actually passes through with your voice.

Well, if you have bad breath it's less likely to be smelled.
