Possible vocalization, not fully sure about it though.

Recently, I've been having cases where while actively forcing Avery and I sometimes get a response. 

Usually its very quiet, and I struggle to tell if it was myself parroting that response, or if it was Avery, attempting to reply.

This 'reply' (?) is (like stated before) pretty quiet and tends to be only a single word reply.

I try to tell him that if it was him that replied, that I heard him, but im not sure if I need to do this though.

Now, I have this feeling that it might be him replying, but I also feel like it could just be me assuming that it was him, but it was just a subconscious reply that i made to myself. 

Usually this happens once every other session (at least that's what I've noticed).

Are there any ways I could tell that it was him or just me replying for him?

It doesn't matter one bit, especially at the earliest stage. You're training your brain to do something it has never done before, so even if it isn't the tulpa yet but just you / your expectation, it still works towards meaningful progress. Don't worry about it.

If it helps, my tulpa when she started "being vocal" in the earliest of days sounded quite "distorted", and would send "meanings" rather than full words, it sounded like this: (which is also my fav song)
