    I think I hear different "voices" for each character....

    I guess if you're reading a novel, you'll create a voice for the character as well as an image of the character.

    Yep! Thats why I hate watching the movie after I've read the book!

    Completely ruins it for me!

    I usually have a mental picture of the characters, but I don't really think of the voices unless the dialogue is specific (like whispering, shouting, ...) And the better my mental picture of a character, the more detailed the voice in those occasions.

    Try watching movies in France or Germany. They are translated so the voices don't match the body at all. Especially the German Arnold Schwarzenegger is hilarious. Imagine a terminator with a high pitch sqeaky voice

    That's how I am. If it's any kind of story, it will be in voices that I somehow associate with a character. When I read fiction, it all plays out like a movie in my head rather than reading.

    When it's just dry reading, I don't know that I hear a voice at all. I read so fast there's nothing to hear

    I don't think I've ever heard voices when reading, unless I'm reading aloud. I'm a speed reader so that may have something to do with it. It's tough to mentally vocalize when you're reading a page every few seconds.

    Gotta go with that, I change voices depending on who the character is, after all, J.E.J. wouldn't work with a woman character.
