What does it feel like to subvocalize when watching subbed anime?

I feel like it would really fuck you up since your inner mental voice would overlap with the japanese audio.

Tangentially related, It's really, really nice to be able to watch monogatari and catch basically all the dialog without pausing.

But this is a question about anime, and a serious one at that.

Books do not have coinciding audio with text.

Subvocalizing is the trademark of a pleb reader

>>143516782
I don't subvocalize when I read, unless i choose to do so (i.e. for academic work or something else of merit)
>>
>>143516828
Fuck
>>
>>143516665
I've been watching things with subtitles ever since I was old enough to have the mental agility. It's hardly an issue, once you get enough practice it's basically invisible. I still hear the japanese audio, my brain just converts it into a language I can understand.

>>143516828
No, it just makes speed reading harder. However, if you're a good enough reader you may subvocalize even when skimming a text.
>>
Who the fuck subvocalizes while watching?
>>
>>143516665
I don't even need to look at subs anymore, which is sad because that goes to show how repetitive anime language is.

I subvocalize in spanish while reading english subs of a japanese cartoon. Have no issues at all
>>
>>143517701
How can you be better at watching something than somebody else? That makes no sense at all.

I hear the Japanese voices speaking English. It's great. Foreign dubs just don't do anime justice.

Kyouraku Shunsui and Yamamoto from Bleach come to mind (one of few pleb manga/anime I enjoy, but fuck you if you don't like that I like what you don't like, you vermin shitter), and the English dub just ruins the characters.

Hearing Yamajii's deep old man voice is amazing compared to the English voice sounding all senile and high-pitched. I can easily imagine Jap voices speaking English without accents.

>>143517924
I don't have to, it just happens sometimes whether I like it or not. Sometimes it's just mumbling and only certain words are spoken fully.
>>
>>143516665
I'm pretty damn good at thinking/speaking and listening at the same time. Sometimes I say the Japanese as I hear it while still reading the subs.
>>
What the fuck is subvocalization

>>143518457
When you read this post, chances are likely that you "speak" inside you mind as you read, an internal voice.
Some of us who aren't retarded can read with and without doing this.

I only make little voices in my head when I read manga, it's fun imagining what a character might sound like and helps me not speed through the thing and miss small details
>>
>>143518491
My internal voice is "blank", almost silent, if that makes any sense. It might be more appropriate to call it transparent. It's very different from when I'm, say, recalling a song, or line from a movie.

Everyone. It's an evolutionary response, if you have truly, never ever subvocalized, you're a vegetable.

If you seriously never have a thought to yourself involving words that are read, or if you never think a thought involving original sentences that you don't speak aloud, you may very much be retarded.

How does that work? Pronunciation is tied to vocalization, we learn to read after speaking and not the other way around. How do you comprehend the word in your mind without 'speaking' it there.
>>
>>143518771
I haven't worked in 6 years
>>
>>143518796
You can look at a word and comprehend the meaning it conveys, that's why you need to practice and be a good reader bud, because you have to stop vocalizing the words and simply interpret them.

Not sub-vocalizing is good mostly for speed reading.
>>
This thread is fucking with my head
>>
>>143518796
Works pretty well once you've written a thousand pages or so of serious writing and read a hundred times that.

Subvocalisation is a trait of bad readers.
>>
>>143518661
They have sound.
>>143518736
I read manga in the voice of the characters, if I've watched an anime before.

I'm not dyslexic, it's just that I can read text without subvocalizing it.
>>
>>143518960
How can you read badly? So long as you can parse the meaning put forth by a text what else is there to it?
>>
>>143518968
And that's fine, it's something that you learn, not something you're born with.
Entirely cutting off subvocalization is impossible anyways, it takes a level of effort.

So long as you don't move you lips, tongue, jaw, and / or throat while reading, you're good. That's the sign of an actual retard.
>>
>>143518738
>taking over 2 minutes to read 8 words

It's amazing how so many people are unaware that that subvocalizing is a plague and a hallmark of plebeians.

>And that's fine, it's something that you learn, not something you're born with.
>Entirely cutting off subvocalization is impossible anyways, it takes a level of effort.

Incorrect.

I never, at any point in my life, had to exert any effort to not subvocalize.

It is the blessing of being a ""late talker"". My brain properly developed the skill of reading, instead of simply using an ersatz "speak the words to understand them" method which subvocalizers use.
>>
>>143519012
The point of reading isn't to parse meaning. The point of reading is to connect ideas, that means cycling the ideas in your working memory with your deeper memory during the entire process.

When a good reader reads, he does not think about what he is reading, he thinks about the relation between what he reads and his other thoughts, it is an act of synthesis not comprehension.
>>
Back I my anime noob days I watched a few dubbed episodes of Full Metal Panic and this one girl had the most horrifically grating voice. Somehow it got stuck in my head like a bad song and every time I read a manga with teenage girls in it I kept hearing them speak in that voice. It was awful.
>>
>>143519142
So you're retarded?
>>
>>143518796
Not everyone is a primitive EOP like you. I can't count how many times I was about to say a word in English when I realized I'm not sure which way it's pronounced or where to stress it.

you mean when you imagine hearing the words in someone elses voice? who the fuck would do that when watching anime? My mind was able to synchronize the subs with the audio after only watching a few minutes of the first anime I watched subbed.

It doesn't. When I read books I don't assign voices, at least not when actively reading it only when thinking about it I get a vague idea of I'd like them to sound like. Anime already does that for me so there is no mental voice
