        Place your hands in front of your ears (pinky against your temple palms facing ears) while you speak and you can come close to how it sounds on a recording.

          I used to work with video production for a while and a lot of voice over artists do that to preview what they sound like.

          I think my inner voice sound like I think I sound.

    I’m trans. Born male, transitioned female. I’ve always had a female inner monologue. Nothing like what I sound like out loud.

      That’s interesting. I’m also transfeminine, and my inner voice sounds like however I think I sound at the moment. Like, it transitioned with me, and also changes when I’m sick.

    It sounds like how I think I sound, so nothing like what I really sound like in recordings.

    It sounds like how I sound to myself when speaking, but not how I sound listening to a recording of myself.

    It also sounds different if I’m reading someone else’s words.

    Maybe I’m an idiot, but I can’t figure out what it is people are calling an inner voice. I just have thoughts; they aren’t internal vocalizations and often aren’t comprised of words. I don’t know how to describe them. It’s like a chaotic flow of imagery and sometimes words that forms a whole diorama of moving images and the logic that pairs with them.

      Not everyone has an “inner voice”. Having one isn’t anything particularly notable either. Humans seem to conceptualize there thoughts in a variety of ways and none of them signify your intelligence imo. For me though it is a very literal inner voice. I conceptualize my thoughts using internal words or pictures. I will even speak to myself directly through a sort of dialogue. I think it comes from reading a rediculous amount of books as a kid.

    I sound more confident in my head than when I actually say things out loud, I wish my outer voice was just as confident as my inner voice

    My internal monologue has no sound, it’s just raw words. Not text, just the concept of words.

    My thoughts can have a voice if I give it one, but not by default. Usually things only have “sound” in my head if I’m playing a song in my head or something.

      For me no inner voice of any kind. It’s just sort of there. No minds eye either.

      If anyone wants to look them up they are called Aphantasia (no pictures in mind) and Anendophasia (no inner voice).

    It usually sounds like me. I can hear it in someone else’s voice if I’m thinking about something they said or might say. I can use other voices too, or make one up, but that takes more effort.

    There’s also one that feels like a ghost of my real voice. That’s the fastest one to think in. It’s very neutral and colorless (for anyone else who thinks of voices in terms of colors).

    I always think it’s what I sound like until I hear a recording of myself. My real voice is a little bit deeper, but other than that it’s close.

      I know this is impossible to describe like explaining vision to a blind person, but how does that work? I can hear mine and can not hear someone if I’m thinking hard enough
