do you read text in someone's voice?

[Kit/Kitsune]

i mean sometimes i do but it rlly depends on the person

 

[Suguri]

When I'm reading text messages, forum posts, and character dialogue alone I like to kinda do some voice-acting (quietly) with the text because it's boring for me if I just read it. When I'm reading everything else, I'll occasionally whisper the text out loud. Sometimes people catch me doing that and they wonder why I'm mouthing to nothing...

With some friends I’ve heard the voice of I will read at least some of their texts in their voice. Most of the time everything I read in my head is either in my voice or a voice I think more closely matches the speaker’s gender.

Communicating with people online has always been part of my life, so the more personality they have in text, the less far away from me they feel, so of course I read text in their voice! Anything to narrow the gap between you and someone you care for, no matter the distance, you know? I've in fact written a little something regarding that. Ahem....

Through our texts,
we laugh and joke.
Through our texts,
I tickle and poke.

Through our texts,
I make you "eeeEEEE".
LOL, colon three.

Through our texts,
we say "good night".
Through our texts,
we hug real tight.

Through our texts,
we share our dreams.
Semi-colon, closed parentheses.

Text me X's when you G2G.
I'll be right here while you BRB.
We'll be together once you're back home,
and text each other over the phone.
We'll talk about us, about you and me.
and we'll say "I miss you. Less-than three".

if it's not my own voice that i use when reading text, it'll be a random character that i really like. it's more likely to happen if i'm hyper fixated on a certain anime/game.

It depends, i usually just read it monotone but sometimes a person will text me something that they will uniquely say and that's when I'll read it in their voice. It's usually hilarious. There's other times where I'll read things in Siri's voice

 

[SkyKnight03]

No. I'm boring, so everything gets read in the monotone default voice in my head.

Aside from one online friend who I had called and exchanged some voice messages with. I knew her voice and sometimes would read texts in her real voice.

 

[Firesquids]

I think I read with my own voice in my head unless it's a famous quote (or like a meme) that I've heard the audio of.

 

[Rosch]

I don't. Only when I am told to do so.
I actually find it amazing how others can keep someone's voice in their head.

 

[skarmoury]

hm, i never thought about it. but i actually dont apparently. when i type i read it in my own voice, but when i read someone else’s message, i don’t think there’s any specific voice. even while browsing TBT comments it’s like I don’t hear anything. that’s interesting lmao

 

[Kirbyz]

i do this sometimes! unintentionally, though. i never do it aloud, but in my head when im reading something from someone who's voice i know, or possibly a voice i randomly imagine them to have if i don't.

 

[Darcy94x]

If it’s someone I’m close to, yes. If not I just read it in my own voice

 

[Clock]

I just read my text normally, I hear no voice from it.

 

[Jhine7]

Not really. I just read most things in my own voice.

 

[Cirice]

Not really unless I'm actively thinking about it or they mention doing a specific tone of voice.

 

[JellyBeans]

normally i just read it as it is, but sometimes there are specific phrases or things that people say that are so *them* then i can picture them saying it, if that makes sense. so i don't typically read it in their voice but sometimes it's really easy to picture them saying their text irl

 

[daisyflowers]

nope, i read it in my head with my inner brain voice
