I most definately (and always have done) allocate voices to characters when reading.
A situation in a book that has a *atmosphere*, Ill be reading to myself, inside the bonce, with a suitably dramatic overtone.
but then... I'm nuts

oooh what a great question!
I do sub-conciously allocate different voices to different people on here.
Because I always see Mrs Bonedigger as the authoratative voice of reason, I hear her posts as a 1950s wireless announcer - received pronunciation, like a posh Maureen Lipman.
Other "characters" on here, I hear differently - usually depending on whether they have irked me with previious posts!
my inner voice talks like me.. except it is much quieter........although i think its a little more vulgar.... as if it has tourettes!!!
Mine sounds like a quieter version of me too but the only time I've ever read with an 'accent' was reading Angela's Ashes. It's so well written you almost feel there with them and the dialogue just come out with an Irish lilt ( clever that! )
good point, I developed a definate accent for Trainspotting
not sure how it would have been for others,but it worked for me... more due to the writing in the coloquial I reckon

I do not have avoicein my head, so it sounds like nothing, just abstract words and the like.
I only put sounds to characters in books if they are written in dialect, then I draw on the past. Matching them with characters in life and film.
Those who hear yourself talking in your head, is it the voice you hear yourself talk with, or the one you hear when playing back a recording of yourself?

its the real people i can hear i want to shut out
