The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

No voices, I normally just see the words in my head and there is no vocalization of any kind.
Normally, this, unless the book has been made into a tv series/movie, like Game of Thrones. Upon re-reading it after the HBO series, I now hear the actors' voices.

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.
Pertinent questions.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

most of the time, I don't give the characters particular voices, but if it's a kids' book or if the character has a distinct way of speaking (Hagrid from the Harry Potter books or Jim from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn come to mind), then I'll go ahead and give them a voice that sounds appropriate, in my head.

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.
Oh yeah, different voices in my head with different accents. You lose much of the nuance if you monodrone it in your own head.
