ELI5 How does your voice change from talking to whispering?

I know that talking is the sound coming from your vocal chords (right?), so how does your body whisper? I noticed a whisper sound more "breathy", so does that contribute?

When you're whispering, you're usually not actually using your vocal cords. You're just shaping your breath in the same way as you would while speaking, which makes (almost) the same sounds at a much lower volume.
