This troper has been doing some off-screen voice acting for a NamcoXCapcom playthrough, resulting in this trope. See Crossdressing Voices for more info.

ThisTroper was making a fairly silly Sci-Fi movie with his friends using the PC game ''TheMovies'', and during one pre-fight dialogue had to voice both the hero and the villain. The result was possibly the low point of the film, but did produce the memorable line: ->Don't you remember all those people you killed in 1860? Because I don't. I guess we're going to have to have a fight scene now... b - bitch!

I frequently talk to myself quite a bit, wording out my thoughts into speech. It's creepy, I know.

This troper is in a PandoraHearts fandub as Oz, the lead character. In the first episode, Gil was played by a British girl but before the release of the second episode had to get throat surgery thus rendering her unable to voice act. So this troper was called in to fill in for her, leading to some interesting interactions. The result is alright, seeing as this Troper hasn't got the best range. See the result here.

This troper once did a reading of {{Shakespeare}}'s MuchAdoAboutNothing with three of her friends, and started laughing too hard to continue when she realized that she was three people talking to each other. We often had to hand off a second part to someone else to avoid talking to ourselves... and then to prevent whoever had taken the part talking to herself, whoever had handed off the part had to take the part whoever she'd handed it off to had originally been playing, and then you've just swapped characters and she'd wanted so badly to be Dogberry!

From the troper whom posted Gamebreaking Bug tale about {{MySims}} comes this continuaton gem: On my Second playthrough, I got all the way to Cuteopia. Only to come to frightning conclusion that my character,and Poppy had the exact same voice with the exact same pitch. Creepy,no?

This conversation has come up in art class #QUOTE# Me: (muttering) Crap. Why can't I draw this right? It looks bad. #QUOTE# Classmate: Where you talking to yourself? #QUOTE# Me: (Insert classmate's name here), we've discussed this. Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to myself.

This troper often purposefully invoked this trope in chatrooms by creating literal split personalities of my main alias. Much fun was had when the "three" (yes, three -- one of them basically had no gender) of us philosophically discussed the ramifications of the male and female counterpart... erm... scrubbing the teacup so a video of it would make the rounds on major porn distribution sites.

This troper, in a not-cool fashion. I can barely stop myself. I've done it since I was about 9, and it hasn't stopped since. I make up imaginary stories about my favourite book/TV/anime/VG characters and act out every single part. I do it almost nonstop, and although I'm trying to stop it, ''it's getting worse''. I am absolutely ''terrified'' that I'll end up completely losing my mind. For those around me, it's weird. For me, it's terrifying.

This Troper made a stop motion video (which can be seen in the Special effects failure section of Troper Tales) in which he did five characters, two of which have a conversation together. Another voice actor also does the voices of two characters that talked to each other (although briefly), he voiced four characters total. Another project also has numerous people (Myself included) voicing multiple characters, in particular, I voice five villain, all of whom talk to each other, plus many others that do exactly the same thing too.

A friend of this troper is going to be in a project where she voices both the protagonist and her best friend.

Happens EVERY SINGLE DAY for this troper as he hopes to become a voice actor in the future.

In Freshman year, we did a unit on Romeo and Juliet and read in character. I was both Romeo and Tybalt... with distinct voices. If you recall, in the play, after spending the night with Juliet, Romeo is very friendly toward his foe sparking a bit of a scene between the two of them. My Romeo was soft-spoken and flowery in speech, my Tybalt was over-the-top with his anger. I didn't pause for a second when switching between the two in that scene. The class literally stopped dead with cheers and laughter afterward.

Three years later, in Senior Lit, we read through the Scottish play in much the same way. This time I only started with the title role, but fellow classmates, through a mixture of reluctance to read and genuine enjoyment of my portrayal, volunteered their characters to me. It got to the point that during the final few scenes, I read as EVERY male character that was still alive and active in the plot. Moreover, I was able to keep the voices distinct enough that nobody needed to follow along in the book to know what was going on.]

On this very wiki, I will often come by years or month later and add a comment or correction

This troper remembers when he was reading the part of Happy Loman from Death of a Salesman...while onstage as the waiter. For those who have read the play, I do not mean Stanley...also, while helping Willy Loman get his lines, I had to read out Biff, Linda, Bernard, Happy AND Charley. I did them with different enough voices that I had to fight not to laugh while being Linda, as I have a bass voice and I was speaking falsetto just to sound convincing enough to get him in the right mindset.
#121217
I also remember reading The White Devil to myself with a few different voices over the summer holidays. It was kinda funny, as one of them was a LARGE HAM(!) while the other person in conversation with him...wasn't. I still laugh at my reading of the large ham's monologue.

This troper was in an English Literature class in high school, and played the narrator in MacBeth. I also became the backup MacBeth and whichever random one scene character noone else wanted to be. In one scene near the end. MacBeth and another character I played were the only two characters in the scene, and MacBeth threatened to kill the other guy (if the information was false.) Yep, '''I talked to myself, ''threatened to kill myself'', then narrated the rest'''.

In 8th grade, part of the Shakespeare unit involved reading a monolouge or scene from the play of your choice. One of my classmates did the scene where Othello murders Desdemona as BOTH of them. Needless to say, the high point was when she was forced to strangle herself to death.

This troper talks to herself all the time. It usually manifests as self-deprecation or questioning my actions. Just as often, I talk to the characters in tv shows, movies (not in the theater, of course) and books. Additionally, for a year after my mother died, I talked to her as if she was still around, having full-blown conversations with empty air.
#121221
This troper goes beyond just talking to herself. If she is thinking about a scene of her writing, she will do the dialogue AND the expressions. She's often caught herself frowning at herself for no apparent reason. No one has noticed yet...

My status as "rehearsal stand-in" for a production of ''YouCantTakeItWithYou'' was cemented when I had to read for three different characters in one night, including one instance of having to play both Essie and Kolenkhov at the same time.
#121223
I have a tendency of thinking outloud, manifesting itself in the form of talking to myself. But I get absolutely embarrassed each time I get caught in the act. No one is supposed to hear me but myself. I try to speak as soft as I can without going down to a whisper, and my voice STILL carries.

This troper's friend Andrew filmed a movie series in which he voiced every character.

This troper has sung through Phantom of the Opera as the Phantom, Raoul, and (at points) Christine. She couldn't speak the next day. She also sang through RENT as every boy, (And Joanne) and Les Miserables as Javert, Fantine, and Marius.
