I have a reader voice I listen to.  Sometimes, my listener mind wonders and I have to reread what I didn't listen to...

My reader voice also echos unusual people's speech to make it a familiar voice for my listener.  It doesn't always succeed...

One of my ice breaker questions is "Do you have a voice that's reads to you and you listen to it, or do you just 'get it'?"

This. Apparently some people can’t just passively decide to listen to Morgan Freeman read them a book in their head? I think I understand now why they might not enjoy reading.

Edit: okay so a little clarification. My default reading voice is a sort of featureless, as if the words were represented only by its base phonetic and tonal definition. If there is a character, I can assign them a generic voice that fits under a certain label, like lady or old man, or a specific IRL person, like Morgan Freeman. If a story is being told from first person perspective, this applies to the whole story. Also, my eyes and reading voice seem to “read ahead”? I can take my eyes off a sentence and still know the next few words over a second or two as my mental voice reads them out, as if my eyes snapshot an image of a few words ahead and then my mental voice parses the visual information for me from that image. This honestly helps watching subtitled shows in another language as I can glance at the subtitles for a second then look back up to watch what’s going on.
