There are all sorts of meditations, so there are probably types of meditation where you pay attention to the voice in your head.
However, the most common types of meditation are specifically to ignore and let go of your inner voice by focusing on something else. So, if you’re paying attention to the voice in your head, you have most likely misunderstood the assignment.
In case anyone is interrested in this, I highly recommend the book Mind Illuminated.
It’s what sold me on the whole meditation idea even through I was mostly sceptical, by clearly explaining it, and givng reasonable arguments about why it works. It also has a pretty good guide in general, with clear steps to follow and pay attention to.
I’ve been told by a lot of people that meditation is good and you should do it, with vague reasons why, and this book explained it to me clearly enough to finally get me to give it a try.

Can I get a summary? I don’t need to be convinced because meditation did help me already I’m just curious about their justification.
