In this episode, the panel of Pia, Sean, Michael and Mike dig into the SimplyScript Radio mail bag.

Dialogue – How do the writers on the panel ensure their characters have separate voices? Not necessarily different dialects but separate people. One of my biggest frustrations is having fellow writers suggesting my characters sound alike. Any recommendations on reading or writing exercises?

Loglines – Tricks and tips.
