"I am the voice of an empty place. I give a cave its character and a mountain its personality. I am yourself, coming back to you. What am I?"
Answer
An Echo
Explanation
An echo gives empty spaces their distinctive acoustic character — caves, mountain valleys, and canyons each produce characteristic echoes. The echo is literally your own voice returning, having bounced off the surrounding surfaces.
