Tips

  1. Vary sentence length - Mix short reactions with longer explanations
  2. Include reactions - "Exactly!", "Interesting.", "Hmm." make dialogue natural
  3. Use directions sparingly - One or two per exchange, not every line
  4. Keep segments short - Under 3 sentences per turn for natural pacing
  5. Assign distinct voices - Use contrasting voices for clarity
  6. Write for speaking - Use contractions, informal language
