My Inner Voice is British

Now, please don’t tell me that I’m the only one with an inner voice?! I know as an author, I have millions of voices in my head. I’m not talking about character voices, I’m talking about that little inner voice that is supposed to be you. I was recently informed that your personal inner voice is supposed to sound like your spoken aloud voice. That voice that you talk to (I talk all the time honestly). The one where you’re at the store and go “was I supposed to pick up peanut butter?”. The voice that you think with. Apparently it’s supposed to sound like the voice you use in daily conversations… well… mine isn’t. My inner voice is British. Always has been. Since I can remember having that little inner conversation with myself, it has always been British. I was completely shocked when someone told me theirs is their own voice, but just in their head. I guess I assumed that everyone’s inner voice was different. My mom’s was French. She could also speak French, so i think that had a lot to do with it.

Mine has always had a British accent. Which is hilarious because my “British” accent I used to do when I was acting was never stellar. I could probably never pass as a true Brit. Just had me wondering after a friend told me that I’m the odd ball, if others have the same experience? Is your inner voice the same as your spoken voice, or is it different? I know that when I dream, most of the time I’m doing American Sign Language in my dream. BUT, when I do talk in my dream I don’t know if it’s British or not because my inner voice is British and that has always been the norm for me. I don’t mind being weird. I got off the “normal” train a LONG time ago. Normal is boring. I want to be unique. Maybe my inner accented voice allows me that sliver of special. Who knows. If your inner voice is different, you aren’t alone. You are really freaking cool though!!
