| This is a good question to think about, especially if you are only reading the manga instead of an anime. Usually if it's like that, I'll make up one that might fit the character, or use an actual VA in my head. ouo |
 "Achieve not with the squad, but by yourself." - Urie  |
| Most of the time I just use generic voices. Can't really describe it any differently than that. If I watch the anime first then I tend to imagine them with the voices used in the anime. When I was reading Kyoukai no Rinne (before the anime came out) I was actually using the voices from Inuyasha since the characters kinda look alike. So which voices do you guys use and which characters do you think could benefit from a VA recast? Shiragami from Jitsu wa Watashi wa. Her voice actress made her sound kinda like a little kid. Not anywhere near how I imagined she would sound. |
 |
| A voice that I think matches the character will just develop in my mind as I read. Reading Shingetsutan Tsukihime, I imagined a very distinct voice for Arcueid; though after watching the anime adaptation, I can't even remember what it sounded like. |
| Hmmm. I don't actually use voices when reading. Is it weird ? About recast, I think that king kaioh from Dragon Ball Super would be really benefit from one. |

| Thank god, im not the only one who does this, i always tho it was a weird habit of mine omfg, i dont really use or imagine the voice of a specific VA tho, i just use a voice that i think it'd fit the character (esp the stature and looks of the said character tbh) |
| I don't use voices when reading...? My mind has to be quiet so I can concentrate. |
 |
| I like to inmate the voice of women from hardcore porn videos, when I read manga. It's hilarious. |
 "The sun is my enemy, but the moon has been good to me." |
| A voice-actor would be my dream job, so I always read them aloud. I read the boys lines in my normal voice, just a bit rougher, but I vary the girls a whole lot more, usually by how high their voice is or certain speech impediments they could have. For example, when I was reading Madoka Magica, Madoka had a high, somewhat scratchy voice, Sayaka had a high but smooth voice, and Mami had a normal pitched and smooth voice. Kyubey's voice was high but casual, so it didn't sound strained or anything. Why am I telling you this? |

| Depends. Most of the time I don't inner vocalize at all, but in some scenes (especially if it's a big discussion or something) I almost act out the scene in front of my computer. Reading all the lines in this epic voice XD |
I usually read the Happy Happy Clover manga by imagining Clover being voiced by Sandy Fox and Mallow being voiced by Stephanie Sheh. Especially after watching the anime with subtitles. |

| This is a good question, I change voices depending on how the character looks, I sometimes use the voices of english dubbers from anime |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I make up a voice for them depending on their personality and the way they appear to talk, even if I watched the anime I usually still use the voice I made up when I go back to reading. recent example ReLife Yoake.. when I heard his voice in the anime I went like "what!? no! he doesn't sound like that! Yoake has a calmer voice!" lol I read in english and don't really understand japanese but when I read the voice in my head is japanese |
If you don't like Kaneki there's a 90 percent chance you didn't read the manga. Read it now. Just do it. Don't question it mongrel. Rating System l Anime List l Manga List My manga list is a more accurate representation of my preferences Cease your thievery of my wine. |
| If the manga was adapted into an anime and that anime got a dub that I watched I will read it in the dub voices. If not, I will either read it in the voices of dub actors I think suit the characters or read it in whatever voices my mind makes up. I always read manga in English but I tend to watch anime in Japanese so it's a bit weird. |

This casual dropping of bombs must stop... Hey, are u infact a member of some terrorist group? i mean, u are dropping too many bombs across too many threads anyway OT : Yeah.. A voice, according to the personality of the character just pops up in my head when i read a manga. And as some1 else said, when i heard Yoake's voice in the ReLIFE anime, I had the exact same reaction.. like 'I imagined a more timid and calmer voice' .. Sometimes the voice actually fits great though, like even Kaizaki from the same anime has an extremely suitable voice IMO. |
Ok this thread has officially been Potato-ed. |
| No voice at all, except if I watched the anime. |

| I don't pay much attention to the character's voices when reading, but usually I'll just use generic voices. |
| "Move as swiftly as the wind" "Stay as silent as the forest" "Strike as fierce as the fire" "Undefeated like the mountain" |
| I like to have a quiet atmosphere while reading so no voices at all. But if its a short-comedic Manga, I just read it out loud with a voice that might fit with that character. That ends once the mood changes, however. |
| oh, i use different voices for different characters. same with worded books. if the manga has been animated and i like the voices, then i transfer the voices to them :P |
 |
| I use the voices from the anime if I've seen it dubbed. If not, I either use my own voice or some other anime voice. Sometimes if there's a character I find annoying, I use a really whiny gay voice (no offense) which makes it more fun to read those lines.

| I usually make up a voice for them depending on their personality and their talking manner But hair is a different thing When you imagine that a certain character is blond, totally sure he is blond And then seeing the colored page *at that moment Ginpachi realized that he fucked up* But i still see the character as a blondie, just cant imagine him with green hair |
 |
| If I've seen anime based on the manga, the answer is obvious. If not, I just imagine some seiyuu I love, who would fit main characters, and sometime imagine how they'd say certain lines in Japanese :D It's fun. |
  |
| There have been times that I look up the dub to hear the actual voice just so I can replicate that while reading. This proves super useful for manga whose anime I don't watch (Naruto, One Piece, Bleach) or even light novels (Haruhi). In the event that it doesn't exist, I do one of 3 things. (1) Cast it in my head with existing English VAs (2) Try to do a one-for-one seiyuu-English mapping if possible (I somehow can do it with Saori Hayami and Hiroshi Kamiya) (3) Make up a headcanon voice. |
| I just use my own voice since I never really thought about making voices up. I actually want to do that 'cause it sounds pretty fun. |
 |
| "(Not out loud of course)" Eh? Lol, I usually do just read out loud and change my voice to fit the characters personality/how I imagine they'd sound appearance wise as well as much as I can, usually knowing that it won't fit 100%. I have so much fun reading manga yo. If there's a voice I just really don't feel like doing, I'll just imagine the voice I'd expect without attempting it. Whenever I hear the voices chosen, I usually remember my attempts and think, "Thank gosh, it fits more than my role, lol". |
| If there's no anime yet or I have not seen the anime yet , an automatic voice reads in my head. Perhaps what my head subconsciously thinks the voice is like. I think it gets cues from the character, the character design, the genre, and the lines themselves. But if I've watched the anime, the seiyuus' voices, as much as my head can reproduce and imagine. |

| I associate the voices with the anime voices, if I've heard them. If I have no voices to associate it them with, I guess my imagination just takes over. |
 |
| I don't really take not of this. I try to match the voices to what I think they sound like I guess in my head. sometimes it's just my own voice or some default i created. |

| Only using different voices if Ive seen the Anime |
 |
| I usually use the voices the characters have in the anime (if it already has been released in English dub since I only watch anime in dub) If it doesn't have a dub or been animated yet I usually think of VA that I think would work well/ could pull off the character. |
  All the Anime's on my list are all one's I own Personal physical copies of, or have seen in theaters that I plan on buying, series that I've watched on FUNimation or HIDIVE will not be on here unless/until I have already bought it. |
| Whatever my mind says matches the character but sometimes it's not consistent |

| Usually my own, but sometimes I might kinda envision what they probably would sound like. (Or if I've seen the anime, then the respective VAs voice) |
