The Short Answer
Imagine our brain takes all human vocal samples we hear and puts them in sound "Jars", and attaches a sticker with a picture of the human that is speaking on that jar. Whenever you imagine what a person's voice would sound like, your brain opens that jar and you hear his vocal samples. Imagine Morgan Freeman's face, now, his voice saying: *" I just don't think I can continue to live in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was virtue."*. Suddenly by the end of that sentence you'll hear his voice in your head, even if you said "**I** just don't think" – it wasn't you speaking to yourself, it was Morgan Freeman speaking to you about himself. When you speak to yourself, you imagine you speaking to yourself, literally. That is why your brain opens the jar with your face on it and you hear your own voice.
