Do you give the characters a distinct voice in your head or is it just your voice you read in?
My husband only reads in his own voice, but I make up distinct voices for people, so I was curious what other people do.

I give each character a different voice and in some cases, an accent as well.

This. It depends on how they make the choices in the beginning that determines what kind of voice I hear in my head when reading the rest of the book.

In many cases how can you know what voice is being spoken until the end of the character's line? Until then, what voice does the character have, and is it awkward if a man's voice suddenly changes to a woman's with "she said"? How do you explain the gender changes to yourself to prevent a break of immersion?
These are the questions I want to know. Being as most repliers have claimed to give voices and accents to each character at an expert level, answering my questions should be no problem. I have many more, but I'll start with these.

I am simply mining the core of the literary arts and pioneering a great exploration into the minds of readers.

Most of the time I know who is speaking and can assign the voice accordingly. Once in a while, it takes a sentence or two to figure it out and I usually have to go back and read it again in the right voice.

No voices, I normally just see the words in my head and there is no vocalization of any kind.
Occasionally I will imagine how a conversation in a book would look with the characters hanging around, and then I might vocalize it in my head, but I think it's just my own voice as if I was reading it out loud.
