Voice
- Talking to yourself orally, having debates in your head which sometimes result in you vocally speaking some parts of the debate, repeating in your head some future dialogues you may one day have which sometimes result in you speaking parts vocally; "argu[ing] alone at night" -> not vocally, but in my head
- Often as a child, repeating words or expressions vocally just after someone pronounced them, this is called echolalia -> dont know

- Having a voice described by NTs as "monotone" or "depressive" -> i dont think so
