That's interesting. Usually when I read something, and I haven't seen the movie I tend to come up with different voices for the different characters inside my head.

I read all the LotR books before the movies came out, so I was able to make up how the character's voices sounded.

After I saw the movies that completely changed when I read the book again, because this time I heard the actor/actreses voice inside my head instead of the voices I had come up with the first time I'd read it.

Wow, you have a really vivid imagination, if you can imagine Aragorn's speeches by Viggo Mortensen in real time while reading the book! I don't think I could do that even if I tried.

I sort of imagined their voices. When I first saw the film, I was so surprised to hear Pippin with a Scottish accent! More often, I imagine the characters' appearances differently. When I read the book, I try to put the film out of my mind so I can let the characters look like they do in my mind.

I read the book after the movie so I usually imagine the characters as the characters from the movie because as I have watched LOTR too many time to count, it's hard not to.

I saw the movies first so I've got the character's voices and picture in my head when I read the books. In a way it's nice that not everything was put in the movie. You can still imagine Tom Bombadil, Glorfindel etc.

I also read the books after seeing the movies, so I saw the characters from the movies in my head. but I didn't hear their voices, when I was reading it again... Only with some of the lines...

I also came up with my own voices for the charecters when i read the books, and i still use them and not the actors!

I read FotR and TTT before I saw the movies, but I was only half way through when I saw RotK. For me I just picture (not really picture, but hear ) their voices in my head.

When I went and saw the movies I kept thinking, "Hey! Aragorn doesn't sound like that...in my head..." It was kind of ridiculous...Oh well...But when I reread Lord of the Rings, it was interesting, Aragorn had Viggo/how I imagined his voice to be mix...

It's funny because usually I'm complaining about what they didn't put it. But I really shouldn't. I should listen to my own advice sometimes, eh?

I dunno about you all, but Ian Mckellen is THE Gandalf for me, it's exactly how I pictured him and heard him.
