Well here is one other random sample who has to turn the inner voice on when necessary :)
Instead of a voice I have a constant song playing in my head when I am not focused. The song changes multiple times per week but if I am on idle I have a song.
When I speak the song turns off, but no voice comes on, unless I consciously prepare my words.
Now when typing this comment, I have a voice (which is my own voice) say the words I am about to type milliseconds before I type them.

- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI also have a song playing in my head most of the time (even while reading but not writing , like you). I’m a hobbyist musician; maybe that’s part of it. But I also have an inner voice . I think the music stops when the voice starts, not sure. For the last week I’ve had “right down the line” by Gerry Raferty (70s pop song) playing.
- te0006 5y agoThis repetetive inner soundtrack thimg can be really annoying sometimes, hampering or even killing concentration on "real thoughts". Any pro tips on how to turn that off? Best approach I found is bulldozing it over with a really powerful but not too beautiful/memorable song. The famous "rickrolling" piece seems to work OK for this. (I.e. not by actually hearing it, just by intentionally "playing it internally".)
