Is it normal to talk to yourself out loud when alone?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—talking to yourself out loud when you’re alone is totally normal. People do it to think through a problem, remember something, rehearse a conversation, or simply narrate what they’re doing.

You’re in very ordinary company. Saying your thoughts out loud can help you organize them, stay focused, or work through a decision—and sometimes you’re just giving the silence a little commentary.

People may feel self-conscious about it, but most wouldn’t think much of it if they knew. If it’s useful or comforting and isn’t upsetting you, there’s nothing weird about it.
