For some reason whenever I read jp-30's posts here or at mojo, I always read them as the voice of Bloo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.:eek:

Yes, I do often hear voices in my head.
Wait, while reading someone's post? Well, I suppose then as well...

I worry about you, evil talking skull dude.
Anyway, I don't hear voices, but I do have a mental image of each forumer and a distinct personality for each... which is solely based on the posts of the forumer I have read.

Hello? Hello!? Is anyone there? I can't hear you!
*sigh* I guess not then. I must be pretty normal.

Good lord, that gets me EVERY TIME.
Also, I tend to hear David Tennant (with his REAL accent) when reading Pants's posts. Still not sure why.

Absolutely. Though -- and as noted by others -- I suffer from "everyone I don't know very well sounds like me" syndrome. Even the guys (although my subconscious grants them the courtesy of pitching the me!voice down an octave or two to keep things from getting too uncanny).
Even better (read: worse) is when my head voice for someone I do know well gets hopelessly "stuck" in my own Midwest accent, regardless of ahem regional accuracy. (I'm sorry, Shwoo. ._.)

No, they sound like Sam. After hearing your voice for the first time in the TDP IWWH video, that's all I can hear.

When I read posts is the only time I hear no voices in my head. So no.

Yeah, but just generic male or female voices, nothing really specific.

No, I do the same thing.
I also hear my own voice when reading stories, which can be sort of annoying when I know that I should be hearing a British accent or something.

This randomly reminds me of my first A Wrinkle in Time readthrough, where I imagined all the Murray kids speaking with British accents. My brain says it had its excuses back then, but none of them are very good. :/

No, not really but i somehow imagine some presence according to what i know of the person and what he/she writes. But it's an interesting idea which makes me kind of curious how i sound like for others, at least to those who can hear those voices.

I write my posts in the same way I speak so I wonder does anyone hear my cutting Northern tones in their head.
I must admit I imagine all Remolay's posts in a somewhat whiny tone

Same here. Which can get really bizarre, since it's like a huge one-man conversation.
When I'm bored, though, I'll sometimes read posts in a Schwarzenegger voice, or if I've just watched a British show, everything I read is in a British accent for awhile.

I usually read everything in my own voice, unless it's someone whose voice I've hear, like SWP, Majus, or...

When I read people's posts I have different voices in my head that change in tone dependant on whether I'm reading a females post or males post. Everyone sounds British to me though. I can't do accents. Not even in my head.

I don't know if it's a compliment or not, but Irishmile, when I read your posts I think of a normal human being.
When I read the majority of posts, I actually just hear a generic voice that I call one of my own inside head voices. But for certain people it's a different voice.
