Sound is a pressure wave. Breathing in or out is air going in and going out respectively. So, would speech be a modulation of breathing into certain frequencies and the sound is changed further by changes in the path it takes out of the body (tongue, throat, lips)?

Hey Matt!!!!!
When you breathe in, your chest expands. Your lungs expand, too, sucking in air. When you breathe out, your lungs return to their smaller size, pushing stale air out. When you talk your breathing out because your removing carbon dioxide as a waste product. You breath into certain frequencies but its the voice box, trachea, larynyx and all that good stuff thats actually helping create a sound not just the breathing itself.

think about this, why do people have to take breaks when they speak or sing. You most definitly breath out while you are talking or singing. I f you talk really fast with no breaks you will find yourself needing some air.

You can do a simple test yourself. Try talking while inhaling or try talking continuously without inhaling for 4-5 minutes.
I think you will find you can't talk while inhaling.

Talk to a dust bunny. If it runs away, you are exhaling. If it jumps into your mouth and down your throat, you are inhaling.
