I don't read aloud in my head... that would negate the point of reading in my head. No narrators here.

Depending on how specific the detail of the characters are, I hear stock voices a lot of the time. For instance, if there is an old, feeble woman in the story, I'll most likely hear Carol Channing. Never run into James Earl or Morgan Freeman yet though. Maybe next time I read a book about penguins.

I hear alvin and the chipmunks singing everything I read.
Except not really. I hear my own voice in the narrator.
Whats really interesting is when I first read Harry Potter before the movies came out, Ron was Gerald from Hey Arnold. Gerald is black with Marge Simpson type of hair.

The voice that I "hear" sounds like mine only monotone. Sometimes my tongue moves in my mouth, forming the words I'm reading.

The voice in the head sounds nothing like me and only pops up when I'm reading something. It's vaguely male. I don't mind it that much.
What gets to me is when I hear someone else's voice in my head. If I hear something distinct, I'll start thinking in that voice for awhile, and it annoys me nine times out of ten. Today, in a lobby, I heard a woman reading in a dramatic whisper to her daughter; my reading voice sounded like that for the next four hours or so.

The funky thing about the brittish voice thing is that it says "bloody" every two words or so...
Jane sees bloody Spot
Spot sees bloody Jane
See Spot bloody run
run, Spot, bloody Spot run!

I usually just hear my own voice when I read - doesn't matter if they are male or female, its all me, me, me
Although, when I read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall I had a very distinct Yorkshire accent reading the story to me. I think that was because I had watched the mini-series previously though
