Well sometime..ok most of the time when I read comics and books I read aloud. Now if that wasn't enough sometimes I go as far as to give different characters different voices. What I'd like to know is: Am I the only one to do this? And if I am insane?

Am I Insane?
I do that too. I was reading some Blade comics last night using my toughest black guy voice for blade and cracking myself up. I thought about recording myself doing it. I got voices for all a marvels characters, punisher, wolverine, spider-man, the thing (he's a jewish guy from the new york in my head), and a lot of other dudes.
Almost all of my comics are done from me reading it out loud a few times.
Do you know how I come up with stories? I literally walk around in circles and just think about it; different scenes and such.
I've been doing it since I was little. Sort of a habbit…and yes, I've said lines out loud while doing that or writing something.
Do all writers/artists have weird habbits you think? XP
I don't read out loud all the time, but I like to get a better feel for a funny phrase or something. Mostly I do the voices in my head. So figure this, which is weirder, imagining different voices and accents in you mind, or saying them out loud so you can hear it. I don't know how poeple would understand what they're reading if they don't.
If I find a line that amuses me, I'll read it aloud in different voices. My main thing is laughing Waaay too hysterically at things that other people might not find nearly as amusing. I also sometimes say lines aloud while planning scenes for my characters. I'll act out gestures, movements, imagine what the character would say in response to this or that.

And now, doing a reading of the legendary "Flash of Two Worlds" (number 123) … qdawg!

Nah man, you're not insane. A lot of people do that. I know I don't vocalize it like you do, but on some really good books that I read the character voices I imagine get so strong in my head that my lips sometimes move as I read and it takes me a few minutes to notice it.
I can't say I've ever done that, because I get irritated when people read my comic out loud. I think I'm insane for feeling that way.
You're fine, though. You're reading comics, you could be doing nothing cooler with you time. Except ______ of course, but this is a family thread. <_<
I don't read my comics out loud, but most people I know do, so you're fine. :3
I do pace the room when I'm trying to come up with ideas/dialouge for my comic and talk to myself. Actually I go up to the swing at the park next to my house with my ipod and brainstorm, something about the swinging motion and the adrenaline rush from the music helps me think. I've been known to shout the words to the songs and/or "talk" to myself while on the swings, sometimes not knowing people were around. xD;
When I was going through school, I had a tough time with reading comprehension. I couldn't really remember what I read, so I'd end up reading the same page (or the same paragraph) up to three times before moving on. It was very frustrating, and completely turned me against reading for personal enjoyment.
I started using your 'act out the scenes verbally' method a few months, and it helped tremendously. My comprehension improved, and the enjoyment level of reading was at an all-time high.
What I'm trying to say is, yes, you're out of your freakin' mind.
