I've actually never given it much thought and could not answer the question without thinking about it next time I read. To me it's like asking if last night's dream was in color.
my dream last night was definitely in color. 
I used to wonder if I dreamed in color and finally after about a year I dreamed I was flying a Budweiser biplane. It was painted like a Budweiser can. That's the only way I knew I was dreaming on color. So it does happen, just not a lot INMHO.

I do give them distinct voices, for the most part. The more important a character, at least.
If the character is just a hanger-on, on the periphery of the story probably not very distinct.
I visualize most characters fairly distinctly. I really like a for my mind to paint a mental picture, if the book is descriptive enough.
I'm reading Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen right now (book one, "Gardens of the Moon"  and there are so many characters, but they're all pretty distinct.

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.
Exactly how it works with me too. I haven't had to "hear" words since I was probably in first grade to read something.
Oh adding on, if I read something to the kids, of course every character has to have a different voice.

Interesting that it's a mix and not down gender lines, either.
It's super easy to give voices to characters you've seen on TV or in a movie. I hate when I create a voice for a book and it gets made into a show or movie and the voice is completely wrong to me.

Yes, I do...
This screws me up more when watching a movie based on a book I like than the physical characteristics do, usually.

Hard to explain. I don't really see it like that. As I am reading I visualize the event/situation in my head. So it is more a jumble of things happening than like reading a screen play where everything is laid out in precise steps. As for voices, I guess kinda but it isn't really something I focus on.

i go from vocalizing to not vocalizing to imagining images to staring out the window instead.

It's not like a screenplay for me. I visualize everything happening in the story if the writer is good at his/her craft. If I can't visualize something, I have a hard time reading it. It's like creating a movie in my head. My dreams are like that, too....vivid and lifelike.
