When reading, I hear my own voice in my head, but only when I make no concerted effort to empathise with the writer - I’m simply reading for myself and my own sake. Instead, sometimes I try to read with the writer’s voice playing in my mind (of course it’d require me having at least heard the writer’s physical voice before). The words may read the same, but the voice reads differently, and what and how those words make me feel could differ by hundreds of thousands of miles.
Exactly!!! Something i’d edited out — a lot of the times we laud someone as a good writer/has a distinct voice. It’s funny to think that many of us likely haven’t even heard what they sound like. And what about the writers of the literary canon? Wonder if shakespeare had a fagcent
