Question: what does your 'internal reading voice' sound like?

When I read something sufficiently complex that I need to do it slowly, I 'hear' my internal reading voice.

My brain usually borrows the voice of a real person for this; usually someone I had recent interaction with.

Yesterday, I binged a couple of Contrapoints videos. Today I'm learning about proof assistant Coq, *in Natalie's voice*.

"Coq provides a module system to aid in organizing large developments."

Just spoke to someone who doesn't experience this internal reading voice, which surprised me.

Is this (not) a common thing? Do you hear a voice when you read? Whose voice is it?
