I've never had a character 'speak to me' without having to put myself in a certain place and dredging up words and then going back and editing and etc etc. That being said, I've always been particularly jealous of people who do have this happen to them. I talk to several of them; no, they don't think the character is real or alive inside their head. It's just an automatic response to knowing their character. Even then, they still occasionally tend to get minor details 'wrong' or off and go back to fix them.
Likewise, RP (I've never done LARP, but from what's described here, I sort of want to) has actually helped me immensely as a writer. It's a lot easier to get in the 'mode' of a characters voice and I have to edit a lot less until things seem right, to me.
