&quot;For people who only ever heard the same internal reading voice, this was usually their own voice, but it was often different in some way from their speaking voice, for example in terms of pitch or emotional tone.&quot;<p>I hear a voice when I read, and it&#x27;s always the same one, but I don&#x27;t think of it as my own voice.  An interesting side effect of that is, even though I read posts from hundreds of people on the internet every week, they&#x27;re all in the same voice, so I basically imagine all of you as, like, one person.
