Such a character!

Fellow speaker,

Make it character the switch back and forth between characters in a dialogue in your story clear to the audience using:
  • Accents
  • Mannerisms of character (e.g., fast speaking vs. slower speaking)
  • Voice placement in throat (e.g., use a different pitch voice for each speaker)
  • Making a slight shift to each side to indicate each side of the conversation
  • Using person’s name in dialogue
Use these methods in your next story to help the audience follow along with all the action!

Methodically,

Tim
