I do not have a voice in my head, so it sounds like nothing, just abstract words and the like.
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?

but, but, if you don't have a voice in your head, how can you hear yourself think? confused

what are the words? they must be sounds, surely. you don't think in text, do you? confused

the voice in my head tends to be much more articulate, with loads more inflection, with a bit more of a sing-song tone to it, than me real voice. my real voice is much deeper and flatter than the one in my head, and i absolutely hate myself on tape, or video, cos it's not "me".

You are right I can not hear myself think, nor do I read myself. The only time I fully from words is when they are destined for the out side. Other than then I have no need for words.

Me to, my recorded voice has a stronger accent than when I listen to myself speak.
..unless I put the full dialect and accent on.

What a great question!!!
No I dont think in my accent. I have just listened to my self thinking and its not any voice I could decribe!! For one my inner voice has never smoked lol

I visualise my characters when I read rather than think in terms of accents/dialects. I can hear voices from the past when I want though as part of my memories. Its a really nice thing to do. That way i am am never actually alone confused

Will think about this more when i am reading later lol

I do try not to attribute voices and character to the written word. When it comes to meeting the person they tend not to look like I imagined. Sop it seems a disservice to them.... and yet I still do!
