When I read, I seem to have the same voice for everyone. No matter the book or characters or subject.
I did the same thing as an expirement for the first few chapters of the first Vanguard book, before the alt timeline information came out. But after that I went back to the TOS cast, and now that we know it's an altnernate universe I'm sticking with the cast for that universe.
For me: Morgan Freeman does the narration, but James Early Jones does the chapter headings ("This is.....Chapter Three!")
But he almost must be different individual. Vastly so, not even necessarily possessing the same parents, let alone DNA, which would be immensely unlikely.
Chekov-1 does have a brother... Chekov-2.
Virtually every character conceived after the Kelvin disaster is effectively a sibling of anyone we know. Delay sex to watch a news report about the Kelvin? You get a different kid.

It's my other voice, the one that answers me when I talk to myself. Basically just some generic voice that's been stuck in my head for the last 50 years. Same guy over and over and over again.
^Sounds like your imagination needs a speech-synthesizer upgrade. 
Really?
Wow I practically act the delivery of the lines in my head and hit a point where I may as well be "hearing" their voices and seeing pictures. I love reading...
I generally "hear" ex-girlfriends in my head when I read. Doesn't matter what it is. More often than not, it's the model for Gabby from "Make-Believe" that I hear, but there are a few other ex-girlfriends I hear as well.
Same here, although I practically make a movie in my head, with different camera angles and cuts and everything. Yes, I know I'm very stange.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been meaning to read Constellations for a while; seeing the movie (for the second time!) spurred me on to do it. It surprised me that I was picturing Pine, Quinto and Urban aboard the NuEnterprise instead of Shatnet, et al. I really didn't expect that. Perhaps it's just because I'm still buzzing about the film; perhaps in a few weeks it'll have worn off!

I do the exact same thing with different "camera angles". I think a few other people here have mentioned the same thing before, so it's not that strange.
oh god.. here we go.. I don't understand how 40 years of Trek can be wiped out by one summer action movie.. the original..it's gonna take alot more than the movie to stop that from happenning
^Nobody said anything about anything being "wiped out." Just about seeing the books in a new light informed by the fresh experience of seeing the movie. And substituting actors doesn't mean erasing the continuity. As I said, the characters are supposed to be the same people physically in both realities, just interpreted by different performers. So one could validly imagine either cast in stories set in either reality. Not "wiping out," just having options. So take it easy.
