Who's voice do you hear when you read?

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I'm not sure if this will make sense to anyone, but I essentially hear soundbites from other characters I somehow relate to each other in my wacked out brain, and yeah it's just really strange...

[Ittoni 538]

Either a better version of my own voice or the voice I most recently heard. Or I just imagine a voice from the memory library that could fit the character "talking".

[TBD 17,254]

I hear a guff version of my voice, a woman version of my voice, a baby version of my voice, a heroic version of my voice, a villainous version my voice, a posh version of my voice, a dumb version of my voice, a British version of my voice, a southern version of my voice, a sexy version of my voice, a displeased version of my voice, beastly version of my voice, etc.

I should be a voice actor someday 

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

My voice, unless it's a character or something.

[ShadowEclipse 1,209]

For whatever reason, it's Discord speaking while I'm reading something on my mind XD. 

[Splashee 28,564]

Hmm, I never read that kind of books. I don't hear any voice by reading technical manuals.

[Savy 5,077]

My own voice. Unless it's with characters or something.

[ridaranka 574]

I hear my own voice :p

[Cash In 22,328]

I hear my own voice, albeit a very exaggerated version of it.

[Sherem 4,807]

my own, no exaggerations no acting, just mine

[Meson Bolt 2,648]

My own voice. Though it seems more bored and monotone than how I actually talk.

[ExplosionMare 18,063]

When I’m reading a book and there isn’t dialogue it’s usually my own but if I’m reading something boring I usually imagine a voice in a British or Southern accent or something similar to these two guys: 

 

[StarChargeR 91]

umm usually just in my own voice.

[Dreambiscuit 9,795]

Come to think of it I don’t really have a specific voice in my head when reading. Rather, it’s more of a sense of the story visualized and the words receding into an abstract thought while I disappear into the world they create. A lot of the time I read aloud to others and on those occasions I often speak each part in a character voice unique to that character, or in my own voice. But that’s more a matter of performing a book for rather than absorbing into it by myself. 

[IronM17 5,379]

When I read a text from a specific character (like in a comic for example) and I know how the character sounds, I read it in the voice of the character. But when I read a normal text or I don't know the voice, then I read it in my own inner voice.

Tends to go back and forth between Jim Halpert (from The Office), and Ooogie Boogie (from The Nightmare Before Christmas).

[Rainbow Cloud 17,978]

I kind of don't really hear any voice not even my own when I'm reading.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,671]

Lately it's been a cross between Pearl from Steven Universe and Princess Celestia.

[dead account 2,710]

I just hear my own voice. But using a different voice is actually a really cool idea! Never crossed my mind, haha.

...I just tried it, it's like the fictional voice and my own talk simultanously, it's difficult. I prefer tulpas, haha.

[ExplosionMare 18,063]

My own, Phone Guy’s (if I’m bored), or the character speaking in the story. 

[Sparklefan1234 170,967]

I usually hear myself or the character I'm writing for if I'm in an Ask A Pony type of topic.

[They call me Loyalty 1,948]

I don't hear a voice other than mine. Sometimes not even that.

Besides, most of the texts I've been reading recently are records and diaries from old. There is not much space for interpretation. No space at all.

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

Either my voice or the character’s voice if I know what they sound like. 

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

Depends on who is the one who wrote what I'm reading. If I haven't heard that person's voice before, then I'd probably read it in my own voice.

[daviddaviddavid 776]

My own. I wish I heard someone cooler, such as Sir Patrick Stewart, Morgan Freeman or the late Sir Christopher Lee, but I think I've learned to tune out my voice in my own head at this point.
