How to do it?
>inb4
Yeah yeah before you start revving up your meme engine: this is the other way around.

I'm finding out that I have a hard time understanding a text if I subvocalise, the worse the more I try, even without focusing on the voice.
eg: reading a poem, I have to read it once for the sounds, and another for the basic level meaning. I retain almost nothing by reading something out loud.

Tips?

I subvocalise if i focus. I skim if i dont.

I think if you're an aspiring writer subvocalising is useful if one is to learn the crafting of sentences (pacing) from more accomplished authors.

Wait...people actually have trouble subvocalizing? Shit, I subvocalize when I *type*.

you should mouth the words as you read like an urban 8th grader

If you say you can do it, you've gone and done it. That's all there is to it. There isn't a focused and active way to change it and do it right, as it's just a basic aspect of speech. What use of it is to you is going to be innate, linked to how your brain interprets your subvocalizations. Think about what you've said in terms of reading aloud. If you focus on the action of relaying what you've read, your going to just do worse due to splitting your areas of concentration.

If you want to improve your abilities, it lies entirely in familiarizing and reinforcing your reading comprehension skills. So just build experience through reading and make sure to grasp what you're reading.

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about though. I was somewhat flabbergasted when I learned that people consider this a 'thing.' I've been doing it all my life. I don't know how to NOT subvocalize when reading or within my internal monologue. It's outside of the realm of perception for me to not do it. I can't even skim texts (very quickly like I've seen peers do) because I can't pronounce the thoughts fast enough in my head.
