I sometimes hear different peoples’ voices when I read some peoples’ posts in the Dope. It makes reading a post in the Christopher Walken voice make a big difference.
You hearing it too, or is it just me?
I do hear voices when reading some posts.
Yours is a little like Fry from Futurama
**QtM ** is a deep baritone filled with Wisdom.
**GonzoMax ** has a little Grandpa Simpson to it. 
Silenus is a good natured but gruff voice. Friendly and yet a little acerbic.
**Anyrose ** has a Strong Long Island accent, but I think that is because of her listed location. A mix of Brenda Morgenstern and the Nanny.
**Bosda ** has a voice of bemusement and a little Wallace Shawn.
Inigo Montoya sounds like Mandy Patinkin of course.
**ralph124c ** sounds like Ralph Wiggums. I apologize for that, but it got stuck in my head.
Malacandra sounds like Michael Palin in my head.
Kythereia sounds like a young Susan Sarandon
** lissener** sounds like Eddie Deezen
I did not include posters I have actually met or talked to.

Whew!
I don’t hear voices, though that’s an interesting thought. I think I’m going to start…
I have listened to a voice post that a Doper made on her LiveJournal, and was very surprised to hear she sounded younger than I imagined.
Well, Jim, I’m conflicted when I read your posts. I want to hear Larry David (and sometimes do) but mostly hear some random nasal Brooklyn accent.
gonzomax DEFINITELY has his Grampa Simpson moments. I take EVERY opportunity to poke him when he has an old man catnap on the couch or in the chair when watching tv. He likes it.
Senor Autobus Muchacho, I read your post with Christopher Walken. That makes your empty space in the first sentence feel much more…alive!
Oh yeah…can someone pass the Slurm?

Well I have a nasal Jersey suburban accent with some residual Bronx accent mixed in. So pretty close.

So…to the rest of the universe…you’re unintelligible.
Got it.

Have you been talking to my wife?
Nah, I just know it’s (being unintelligible) is self-defense. It’s like Brad Pitt in Snatch, when he had that weird English accent that nobody understood.
Yes, tell your wife that I just compared you to Brad Pitt.

Bingo! That’s it!
Unless otherwise noted, I hear all UK posters as the RP accents of the BBC news. The Aussies all sound like Crocodile Dundee or Steve Corwin.
I hear most male Dopers in a generic, Peter Jennings type voice, UNLESS their syntax, vocabulary (or even main focus) is such that PJ just won’t fit. If it’s a Pit thread and they’re being especially poisonous, I hear shrill tones (not in the least pleasant). If they are witty in their rage-I hear a Lewis Black type screed.
The female Dopers–hard to say. Some sound like Paula Poundstone, some like Gilda Radner–in all her manifestations!
I will try to track who gets which voice now…gee, thanks-another thing for me to obsess about! 
I assign both voice and appearance to other posters. Everyone gets a personality based on TV and movies. A few samples of what I see and hear when I’m on the board(s)*:
Shirley Ujest == Dana Delaney
QtM == Robert Stack
tashabot == the robot Transformer chick from the movie (can’t remember her name, Susan Blu?)
Chefguy == James Earl Jones (I have no idea why; It’s just happens)
Martini Enfield == Jeff Cooper (I hope he takes this as a compliment)
FairyChatMom == Liv Tyler
Faithfool == Mama Cass (please, please take this as a compliment… it is)
Johnny LA == Johnny Bravo (one of the few cartoons)
lieu == Robin Williams
Kalhoun == Bonnie Hunt
TuckerFan == Orson Wells
Dinsdale == Eric Idle
*hopefully everyone will view these avatars favorably. I don’t mean to offend.

Oh really, Kerry Strug?
Just kidding. It’s a little lower than Kerry’s.
There was a website that Francesca put together awhile back.
I’ve learned to ‘listen’ to a few voices from the site, but it hasn’t been updated in awhile. I’d personally send a few bucks her way if she needed to update the site.
Tripler
Other than that, y’all sound like Yul Brenner in my head–just not as bald.

Best accent ever. Gypsy Irish, I think, can’t remember the specific term. Favorite movie, but I have really low standards.
And yes, I hear voices, too.

:o Should I be flattered? :o
I admit, I only hear the voices of the people I’ve talked to IRL–Sunspace, Lissa, Eats_Crayons, all the Trannadopers. That website from Francesca looks like a good place to start…
If it helps, you sound normal in my mind…except a slight Canadian accent…and a proclivity to say “aboot”.
Then again, that’s most Canadians on this board.
Love me.

I think so. For some reason I think of Janet from Rocky Horror as your imagined voiced. I am not sure why. It just clicked that way to me at some point.
Anastasaeon, I am glad you agree on Fry for LOUNE. I did not think about it when I first posted, but when I read your posts; I usually give you the mental voice of one of my young co-workers. She has a young bubbly voice.

Are you saying that is what you sound like, I am disappointed, I had imagined your voice to be British Country Squirish, how I would expect a well off Hobbit to sound.
Jim
I’m with you on Anastaseon. I sense some sort of effervescence from her.
silenus has a low, almost gravelly voice. His voice isn’t what you’d think it would be.
FairyChatMom could do phone sex. She just has that kind of voice to her. (What??)
Shagnasty has a degree of a Boston accent, although I can’t pinpoint WHAT degree it is. He’s also got perfect grammar and diction, despite this blight of an accent.
I’m still trying to recalibrate my inner monologue for a bunch. Being alerted that the person you thought was one gender, then having them be the opposite messes up with much stuff.
Also, alice_in_wonderland has a young Demi Moore voice. Kinda deep-ish, but still cute.
