Are your characters saying all the right things—but somehow it still feels off?
Contrived dialogue is one of the fastest ways to pull your reader or viewer out of the story. Whether you're a novelist or a screenwriter, when your dialogue feels stiff, forced, or unnatural, it kills immersion and weakens emotional impact.
The worst part? You might not even realize you're doing it.
In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked causes of fake-sounding dialogue—and more importantly, how to fix it. You’ll learn a mindset shift and key storytelling tools that will instantly elevate your scenes and bring your characters to life.
🎬 If you've ever been told your dialogue doesn’t “feel real,” this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
