...not even myself...sounds more natural to me. Are both orders common?

Mister Micawber, shouldn't we say 'his/her voice' or 'their voices' in place of 'his voice' in that sentence, since 'none' could refer to either a male or a female?

Thank you.

If you want to go down that road, there are ways to avoid 'his', yes.
