March: Character Motivation: Dialogue as a Window Into Character
Crafting Realistic Conversations
Dialogue does more than move information from one character to another.
It reveals who characters truly are.
In this webinar, we’ll break down how strong dialogue emerges from character need, emotional tension, and subtext—rather than explanation or “on-the-nose” speeches. You’ll learn how to avoid infodumps by anchoring dialogue in conflict, shaping voice through rhythm and tone, and allowing what’s unsaid to carry meaning.
This session focuses on:
- Using dialogue to reveal character psychology
- Creating distinct character voices without gimmicks
- Layering subtext beneath surface conversation
- Using pauses, interruptions, and tension for realism
