no, this is wrong. breath flow is different for different pitches
and different volumes. you might want to see if you can get a hold of some
pictures of what the vocal folds look like in various states (low notes, high
notes, breathing, not breathing) and, realizing that all breath passes
through these 'lips of the throat', you might get a very different picture of
the role of breath in singing.
