Do you create new imaginary voices when you read for each distinct author?

Asked by Imadethisupwithnoforethought (14682points) September 17th, 2011

When you are reading a book, do you hear your own voice in the text or do you slowly come to hear a new voice you create for that author? Is it gradual, or right away?

When you read posts by people on this website, do they all develop unique voices as you come to get familiar with them over time?

Is that why people claim surprise when an author reveals a surprising gender or age?
