I came across this article that talks about dyslexics not hearing an inner voice when they read, or at all really. I don't either, and I know I'm not dyslexic. I've always been a strong reader. I'm wondering if it's more to do with thinking in pictures. I don't think that I ever really hear my voice in my head, but rather I have a quick succession of pictures as I think thoughts. If that makes any sense. lol
I hear a voice in my head when I read and write, I also see pictures and I am mildly dyslexic.

often, when i'm reading something written by someone i know, i'll read it in their voice. usually i make up a voice in my head for those i don't know, but there's not much variety. the most common one is a moderately fast, whispery androgynous voice with flapped 'r's.

I am not exactly sure how unique this is yet my inner voice tends to change, with which narrates my reading. For instance, if I have a particular show I prefer and have watched recently, my inner voice will mimic it if I read shortly afterward. I am not certain if this is something which I have subconsciously trained myself to do or not, yet it happens frequently enough.
