I'm English and I unconsciously give every character an English accent unless their dialog is written phonetically.

I think this is because of subvocalising. Imagining an accent different to mine feels awkward and silly, as if I was reading it aloud.

Do you guys also do this? If you are American do characters speak with your accent? Or if you are reading Russian lit does every character have a Russian accent in your head?

I don't think in my own accent.

How or why do you do this to yourself?
Do you also cast actors to roles in your head?
Fucking normies

If it's an American book, i give them an American accent (usually roughly equal to the regional dialect they are identified with). With characters of every other nationality, it's a toss up between American and British accent.

>Cast actors
Do you mean using the images of real actors to represent characters? No, I don't do that.

This. My head is basically Hollywood. If it's American then they are American. If it's any other country then they are British.
