- Reading: who's voice do you think in?
This question may sound strange but is there a natural voice you think in? When you read something are you reading in what you consider your voice or does it change? Seeing how we can mimic voices we hear in our thoughts, as well as the fact we are not limited by our vocal cords in our mind ,meaning we can make high pitch voices we can't mimic externally to narrate.

>but is there a natural voice you think in?
People don;t think in words, but in images and in abstractions. If you consciously narrate what you're thinking, the voice is "you" to the extent that anything is "you", but ofc what you sound like in your own head is not the same as you sound to other people.

Is this not a result of how we're taught to read out loud?

It seems to be a weird Frankenstein-style mishmash of many male voices approximating my own...
When I read books I imagine the sentences as if it's a video. When I do some task I think in a 'voice'
I say 'voice' because I can't describe it as my voice or anybody else's voice. It's like a whisper, it has absolutely no characteristics or anything to describe it. It's just words being caught in a net.

I've never understood this idea just as much as I don't get people who talk about reading posts or comics in people's voices. I think in words and I read words, there's no voice attached to those words. Am I autistic or something?

I usually think in the voice of the british general you hear when playing as imperial in star wars battlefront 2
My voice.

The voice in my head is more smooth and sober.
My real voice has more of a drunken drawl quality.

After watching a movie/show where a character I like appears, I tend to hear everything in my mind with their voice. This does not usually last long, but tends to come back if I recreate a facial expression or phrase of his/her. I can also pretty much read anything in the voice of someone else in my mind, which I tend to do.
Beyond that, I tend to think with the voice I believe sounds like me, but doesn't really when I listen to it recorded.
i think as kel mitchell in Good Burgers voice
