If you were wearing a space suit, you would hear yourself but others wouldn't. If you did not have a space suit, the air would rush out of your lungs the moment you opened your mouth. You might hear your voice up until the moment your lungs were empty (from inside your head), but no one else would.

He didn't skim on it, he specifically said he considers viruses life. And as they don't metabolize, by his definition life does not require metabolism. At this point, there is no correct definition of what life is, there are just varying arguments to give for or against certain definitions.

> I’m assuming you’re also gassing off water vapor and other things into the vacuum from your skin, eyes, mouth, lungs, etc. which would cause a loss in temperature locally I think?
Absolutely. Due to the extremely low pressure in space, any liquid water would immediately evaporate, as the boiling point is inversely related to pressure. This will cause your surface temperature to drop. But as soon as that's over, your core temperature would probably offset that again.
