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
