Who's voice do you hear when you read?

[Dr.RedundantPh.D 60]

Mike Rowe's, almost as good as Morgan Freeman.

[Krystal 1,468]

It would be cool if I heard Billy May's voice

[Nah 3,182]

No specific voice.

 

But when it comes to a book, in what I imagine the characters sound like.

 

(please change the title, its really misleading)

[Aureity 3,055]

For books, I just imagine the characters actually talking, even though usually I have no idea what they sound like.

[FinalGamer 192]

occasionally. It is Morgan freeman's voice

 

You're hearing God. Congratulations, you are now the next Joan of Arc.

[AngryGamer432 155]

You're hearing God. Congratulations, you are now the next Joan of Arc.

 

I see what you did there

[FinalGamer 192]

On a side note, I actually DO voices when I read books. Even the women.

 

The same applies to RPGs before they had voice acting in them.

[Marra da poni 100]

Nothing really. When i'm reading normal books I hear some sort of darker and better version of my voice but when I read pony fanfics i hear micthemic's haunting voice.. On forums etc. twilight sparkle voice for girls and standard male voice for guys.. Yea something like that

Orson Welles

[Twiliscael 3,960]

On forums and discussions, I give everybody their own voice, When I'm reading anything else, I give the characters and nararators their own voices as well.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

I hear Stephen Hawking.

[turbulosus 16]

It's sorta random, but I got Morgan Freeman once

What a day that was...

[LovingTolerance 131]

When you read text off the internet do you hear a voice in your head reading it to you? If so who's?

 

I hear my own, but my voice isn't as deep in my mind for some reason.

It depends. If I'm reading a chat log, I automatically take that person's actual voice. If it's text, my own voice in a British accent.

[Krystal 1,468]

I hear my own, but my voice isn't as deep in my mind for some reason.

 

same here

[Fluttertree 19]

It depends. Usually it's just that inner voice, but if it's been written by someone who's voice I know from videos I might read it in their voice. Not with friends though, for some strange reason.

 

Alternately, If I've been listening to the same distinct voice for quite a while I might just hear anything I read in that voice for a bit.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

Well it will depend on where the origin of the words are coming from. If it is a german "talking", than I will read it in a german accent, same with all different nationalities. Though if it is unlisted, such as reading research, than it will be of my own.

[Callisto 1,877]

Usually, it it either my own voice, or the voice I assign to whichever person it is that made the post, like most people do.

 

With a book, I'll basically do the same thing.

[Prince Of Madness 28]

If someone I know typed it then I will hear that persons voice, but if I don't know the person or don't know there gender for some weird reason I hear Morgan Freeman's voice.

[TomokoKuroki 1,707]

It depends on who is talking. Certain people I know on forum sites have "assigned" voices that are unique to only them. People with avatars containing characters like Fluttershy, or someone else I know will have their voice. And OC's are given voices from characters I like that might fit their vocal role. Or if you act like "x" character I will give you their voice.

 

I never use my own voice because that makes it less fun xD.

[Rainbow Sherbet 36]

I always here my own voice unless the writing says something like "So and so said" and then I'll read it in that person's voice or if it's some type of quote. 

[BronyBob55 31]

I dont hear anyones voice. I just know what the words are. Unless some specific person is talking I don't read in a voice I just see the words.

[fimdash 1,196]

Depends what I'm reading. If I'm talking to someone online or browsing stuff, I usually don't subvocalize. However, I do put on voices when I'm reading a book. I feel like subvocalizing gives you a better sense of the narrative, so that's why. I'll usually imagine some random voice that I feel fits the character speaking. I'll also do voices when I'm reading a fanfiction. For example, if I'm reading a Fluttershy centric fanfic I'll do a Fluttershy voice in my head for her speaking lines. I've heard the Mane 6 speak so many times from watching the show to the point where I can recreate the way they sound with perfect precision in my mind.

[RainbowZeppHead 0]

As much as I would love to say Morgan Freeman, I really only hear my own voice. But technically, it's not my real voice because everyone hears themselves differently in their own head. You could probably sit in a corner for quite a while pondering that idea. Hm...

[Twilight Circuits 603]

Hmmm... most interesting subject... If I knew who the writer was or heard them speak before i've read what they've written I end up reading it as if they were speaking it inside my mind. Although I hear their narration sometimes, If a character is speaking, then my imagination takes over and a voice is made up for the character based upon all information about the character in the story. But the voice of God, I hear as my own voice.
