You know that Disney movie Frozen? Remember the part where Kristoff is alone with his elk or reindeer and he is speaking for it in order with have a conversation with himself?
Is there a word for doing that? For speaking out loud for your pet?
Not necessarily attributing human characteristics but actually speaking for your pet.
Cause I do it all the time for my Bassett Hound mix.
Yes, I'm single and live alone and don't have any friends.

Although it is mainly used for describing the performance of ventriloquism, I used (perhaps incorrectly) ventriloquize to something like what you're asking.
I used the word to describe a boy playing his toys and voicing them(like what Andy did in those Toy Story movies). I am not sure whether it's acceptable to use it in such figurative sense, though.
