Tips

• Vary sentence length - Mix short reactions with longer explanations

• Include reactions - "Exactly!", "Interesting.", "Hmm." make dialogue natural

• Use directions sparingly - One or two per exchange, not every line

• Keep segments short - Under 3 sentences per turn for natural pacing

• Assign distinct voices - Use contrasting voices for clarity

• Write for speaking - Use contractions, informal language
