Hijacking this thread to ask if anybody else experiences this - when I watch a movie told from the perspective of a single character or with a strong narrator, my internal monologue/narrative will be in that character's/narrator's tone of voice and expression for the next hour or two. Anybody else?

I find that sometimes, after reading for a long time, the verbal components of my thoughts resemble the writing style of what I read.

Sometimes, after reading something with a strong narrative voice, I'll want to think in the same style, but realize I can't match it.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but I've found that if I spend an extended period of time (usually around a week) heavily interacting with a single person or group of people, I'll start mentally reading things in their voice(s).

While reading books. Always particular voices for every character. So much so, I can barely sit through adaptations of books I've read. And my opinion of a writer always drops a little bit when I meet hjm/her, and the voice in my head just makes more sense for that style.

Sure. Or after listening to a charismatic person for some time.
