I guess I don't visualize anything, but I do substitute the face of whoever I'm talking to with their avatar. It's kind of the reason why I think an avatar is important. If you have some piece of stuff, jpegged, out of proportion trash image that you chose to represent yourself I'm gonna have a harder time empathizing with you because you look like a chump.
