Whispering and ventriloquism...

Ok, I hope I'm posting this in the right place.....

I've got a somewhat odd question in regards to ventriloquism.

As part of a film script I'm working on, I'm letting the commander of a counter-terrorism strike team issue commands through a throat mike using ventriloquism. Point is: She's whispering.
And now my mind, instead of being creative, have gotten stuck on the question: Is it possible to whisper using ventriloquism?

I know, I know....stupid, but it's been bugging me every time I try to work on the script.....

Yes. The only relevant difference between speaking/whispering normally and using ventriloquism is that in one case you're moving your lips and in the other you're not. (Ventriloquism normally involves changing the pitch, tone, etc of your voice, but that's not relevant in this case).
