i am not a professional in speech pathology or anything whatever, but i experience this like “downloading” someone’s voice through exposure. for example, i would be extremely comfortable saying something with a southern accent or even “as someone” familiar-but-distinct to me. i have a pretty versatile framework for referencing its distinct qualities.
i am actually not super familiar with morgan freeman but i can “hear” him when i read this to myself because i can support what i don’t know of his speech with the understanding of my own. if i were to read it to someone, not so much… because that is outside of the framework of my own perception.
