The character's thoughts are dubbed into the soundtrack, often with a slight reverb. This can be milked for comedy if the character switches from inner to outer monologue accidentally. See Inner Monologue Conversation for the frequently used subversion when other characters hear what is said and react to it or refer to it in their own thoughts, even though they shouldn't be able to. It's mostly used when two characters use this device in the same scene. If the character intentionally says this "out loud" to an empty room (the audience), then it is Thinking Out Loud. Compare with Narrator, Captain's Log, and Sounding It Out. Contrast Surrogate Soliloquy, when the thoughts are forced out at an inanimate or nonsentient target to avoid voiceover. A closely related Video Game trope is Informing the Fourth Wall. May lead to Inner Thoughts, Outsider Puzzlement if you either spend too long monologuing or start acting weird while you're concentrating on your own thoughts. When overdone, it can raise the same problems as Talking Is a Free Action. Subtropes are Voiceover Letter, Ear Worm, and Private Eye Monologue. |

Advice and Trust: Asuka often talks with herself in this story due to her insecurities, fears and doubts tearing her apart. Frequently a side of herself starts to have doubts and another side retorts "Oh, just shut up!" or "Get a grip, Sohryu!" In chapter 2, after spending the whole night with Shinji for first time she has a very long monologue: In chapter 8 Shinji and Asuka have deduced that their mothers are stuck inside their Evas and Asuka is on the verge of freaking out and she has to remind herself mentally to keep calm: |

Parodied in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, in which Hamlet (who looks a bit like Olivier, come to think of it), is clearly doing the soliloquy in his head, but the audience doesn't hear his Inner Monologue. Part of the whole point of the play/film was that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are given no explanations, so have no idea what's going on. | |

The Simpsons: Homer can be often seen engaging in an inner monologue that sometimes becomes an inner conversation between him and his brain: In one episode, Marge is driving along and appears to be hearing Homer's voice in her head, until it's revealed that Homer is in the back seat of the car speaking through a cardboard tube. In another episode, Homer delivers the usual "Well, off to work!"-lines at breakfast while his thought shows that he's plotting to sneak out and go on the Duff Brewery tour. Unfortunately he gets the inner and outer monologues mixed up without realizing it; when Marge calls him out on his plan, he screams and runs for his car. |

The Another Code games hangs a lampshade on the tendency for protagonists to go on long-winded a Internal Monologue, particularly in Another Code: R. In ''R', Ashley's internal monologues in are depicted via a camera zoom in, and her looking directly at the screen while she spills her thoughts to the player. They are then almost always interrupted by the character Ashley was talking to yelling her name, and proclaiming that she just suddenly began blankly staring into space for a the last moments. Matthew, who is Ashley's most constant companion across the game, begins to get used to Ashley "going off with the fairies" to the point where he starts actively expecting it. | |

In Seventeen Moments of Spring, Russian TV series from early 70's, internal monologues of main protagonist, colonel Isayev are presented through voice-overs. And as they often consist of solemn but rather obvious statements, their parodies created a sub-genre of jokes immediately recognisable in Russia and several other post-Soviet coutries. | |

This is used often in Princess Tutu. Ahiru (which means "Duck", as she's called in the dub), the emotional lead character, has a tendency to cut off her inner monologues by shouting her next thought out loud, much to the confusion of those around her. It's also used for comedic effect in one scene, when she's having an inner monologue about how she's "only a duck" while her teacher is calling out her name. It ends up with her looking up and shouting at him "Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a duck!" only to be berated by her teacher for her outburst. | |

Sora, the protagonist from Sketchbook, is extremely shy and doesn't say much, but the viewer gets deep insights into her mind through her extensive inner monologues. And what a special and observant mind it is. | |

Robin (1993): Tim Drake has narration boxes outlined in green, and later red, which oftentimes contrast what he's actually saying and reveal that he's much harsher, more critical and amusingly sarcastic in his thoughts than his speech since he finds himself playing peacemaker or relating relevant facts a lot as Robin which he prefers to do clearly and without conflict. He's generally more open when hanging out with friends. | |

In Batman: The Brave and the Bold, beyond the occasional banter, Batman's dialogue is often largely serious. This is contrast with his various bits we hear of his Inner Monologue, where he is frequently a smart-ass Meta Guy. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): Nan Adams' inner monologue, in which she tries to make sense of the hitchhiker's repeated appearances, is heard throughout "The Hitch-Hiker". "King Nine Will Not Return" features Captain James Embry's panicked thoughts when he finds that he is alone in the African desert with his B-25 Mitchell bomber King Nine in 1943. Michael Chambers' inner monologue is heard at various points throughout "To Serve Man" as he relates the story of the Kanamits' arrival on Earth and its aftermath. In "The Long Morrow", Commander Douglas Stansfield's inner monologue while in suspended animation is heard throughout the episode. |

Comically played with in Psychic Squad where in some scenes the author makes the readers believe that Minamoto is having an internal monologue, and then suddenly he gets angry at the nearby standing Fujiko who, as we suddenly discover, was actually the one who voiced a fake Minamoto's internal monologue that she invented on spot. | |

Unlike traditional musicals, every song in Spring Awakening has been described as functioning like inner monologue for the characters. Lyrics reflect the feelings they don't or can't express to the outside world at that moment, and often at the end of the song characters will return to exactly how they were when the song began, as in the "real world" nothing happened. | |

Kyon of Haruhi Suzumiya is this trope in human form. He acts as the narrator, has moments of Did I Just Say That Out Loud? and comments on everything with a mix of Unreliable Narrator and Lemony Narrator. The problem is that the main character, Haruhi, is extremely Genre Savvy, and a God, according to some of Itsuki's superiors. The others just see her as a ridiculously powerful Reality Warper. In the novels, Kyon's dialogue is often not put in quotation marks, which means it can be very difficult to determine whether he is narrating or talking aloud until someone responds to him. The anime will often not show Kyon's mouth during these scenes, leaving the ambiguity intact. | |

Cerebus the Aardvark: There was a very long inner dialogue between Cerebus and "Dave". Since this all takes place in Cerebus's head it looks like an Inner Monologue - there's nothing to indicate which thoughts are Cerebus's and which are Dave's except the context. Of course Cerebus is never sure if Dave is for real anyway. Cerebus also has regular inner monologues, getting more frequent as the series progresses - reflecting either Sim's storytelling getting more experimental, or Cerebus himself growing more introspective. Earlier, the Cockroach had a tendency to narrate his situation, either aloud or in his head. |

Superman: In the Bronze Age, Superman used a lot of thought bubbles, too. It gave him a rather introspective air. The real reason for this is Superman had no regular partners to banter Expo Speak with. Oddly, the title that has Supes do the most inner monologuing is one of the team-up books he shares with Batman — because he and Bats are the narrators in the Jeph Loeb's arcs like Public Enemies or The Supergirl from Krypton (2004). Supergirl does this a lot. A lot. Often it's because she's trying to figure out her weird new homeworld or dwelling upon her life and her troubles: In the first issue of her 80's solo title Linda spends the first pages reminiscing and reminding herself she needs a change of scene to rediscovering herself: In Red Daughter of Krypton Kara's inner voice is as reflective as snarky. In Bizarrogirl, Kara does this several times when talking to her counterpart. In the beginning of Who is Superwoman?, the titular villain tries to convince herself that she is doing what she must for her family and her people's sake. |

In Murder!, an early Alfred Hitchcock talkie, the crude sound recording technology of 1930 did not allow for overdubbing. So to get Herbert Marshall's Inner Monologue in the film, Hitchcock had Marshall record his dialogue elsewhere, and then the recording was played on the set as Marshall stared into a mirror. It's believed to be the first use of overdubbing to represent Inner Monologue in film—and it might be the Trope Maker, as stage plays just had the characters talk to the audience. | |

The two Touch Detective games make excellent use of this as the titular detective, MacKenzie, runs commentary on the chaos around her. This, like most uses of Inner Monologue, cements her as the Deadpan Snarker and the only sane girl of the cast. Even more interestingly, it's often done simultaneously on the top screen of the DS while the normal conversation is on the bottom screen (or vice versa, can't remember). |

Big City Greens: Tilly has an Inner Monologue with Saxon in "Impopstar" as she grows suspicious over Zillon Brax posing as Cricket. In "Heat Beaters", Cricket has one of these as he suspects why Remy never sweats in the heat. "Quiet Please", which is a Whole-Plot Reference to the movie A Quiet Place, focuses on the Greens going to the library to find a book for Cricket while trying to evade the Scary Librarian; they cannot make any noise, not even talking or whispering, thus almost all of their dialogue is played out through their thoughts, and they result in communicating through sign language or pantomime whenever they need to talk to each other. In "Bat Girl", Community Sue and Cricket use "baseball talk" by giving charades to one another. Nancy also uses this with the kids later on when she reveals she turned the kids jerky for her own benefit. |

Final Fantasy: Squall Leonhart in Final Fantasy VIII monologues internally much more than he actually speaks aloud. His Inner Monologues provide so much of his characterization that they are retained for his appearance in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Kefka, being the crossover's Meta Guy, calls him out on this in the prequel. "You sure are talkative - in your head!" |

Squidward has one in "The Thing" when he gets covered in cement and spends days waddling through Jellyfish Fields.

The Thief and the Cobbler: The film was originally meant to have little-to-no dialogue at all from the eponymous characters and their stories were meant to be told through the animation.

Gantz was 80% inner dialog, used not for exposition or analysis, but overwrought, confused, repetitive, self-absorbed internalizing. Every actual hazard to life hung, while designated heroes stood stock still in shock as one character hammered the obvious personal emotional crises, interspersed with other characters brief reflection on the danger they or another were in. Audience with the patience to sit through that would be rewarded with one onscreen action followed by another extended tour of everyone's sparse inner thoughts. | |

The inner monologue in David Lynch's Dune (1984) is infamous. While in most examples the audience is only privy to the inner monologue of the main protagonist, in Dune we are treated to the inner thoughts of every. single. character. The film is almost nothing but inner monologue. | |

In an episode of The Prisoner (1967) filmed when Patrick McGoohan was busy on a movie, Number 6's mind is put into another man's body. This leads to the somewhat odd sight of another actor walking around trying to look like he's having the thoughts we hear in McGoohan's voice. | |

While not voiced, Ace Attorney has a TON of inner monologues, most of them being of sarcastic comments on a person or situation. This is parodied in some parts when other characters can almost read what Phoenix is thinking. In the third game, Edgeworth actually thinks "Thank God for inner monologue" to himself after a snarky internal comment. While the inner monologues are usually used by the player characters, the final case of Trials and Tribulations as Godot, the true killer of the victim in the case, getting his own inner monologue when he sees Mia's ghost standing next to Phoenix and wondering how she is living on through him. | |

In Looking for Group, Sooba the Team Pet Panther begins all of his monologues with "You think you know me...", as does Richard's rabbit. Actually a Chekhov's Gun with the rabbit, who is actually the Archmage transformed to observe the group. Tim's is "DIS MY INSIDE VOICE!" In the case of Sooba, it later becomes a Running Gag as he's always seen thinking those words while looking brooding. |

Burn Notice has Michael often explaining how spies operate in certain situations and explaining deadpan-manner the stupidities of Hollywood Science. Not entirely played straight in that the character's thoughts are not being played out. It's more like a subtle shift to an instructional video rather than demonstrating the character's thought process. Most notably, Michael will always do the narration even if the events in question are miles away from his character. |

In Control, the protagonist Jesse frequently delivers internal commentaries and asides in cutscenes, usually accompanied by a close-up shot of her face. One early sign that the Inexplicably Awesome janitor Ahti isn't what he seems is that he sometimes comments a reply if he's in earshot. As the game progresses Jesse's shown to have a justified reason for doing this. Since childhood she's had a protective resonance entity living in her head, nearly all her monologues are actually conversations directed to Polaris without the chance of being considered mentally ill by anyone in earshot. |

In 1975 short film Doubletalk a young man named David arrives to pick up his date Karen, and makes awkward small talk with her parents. The hook of the film is that we hear all their inner thoughts in voiceover, so when Karen comes downstairs wearing a very skimpy blouse, David boggles at what a great body she has while her father fumes that she is asking for trouble. | |
