When people converse, they do so with more than just words. Body language, tone of voice, and societal context all play a role in understanding what a person means. In this workshop, we'll use in-class exercises to explore how to get the most out of dialogue.
This is a recording of a live class that has been lightly edited for clarity's sake. You will also receive the class slides, an exercise document, and transcript of the class.
This was a great class and had a good balance of pacing between the demonstration and activities.

Read MoreI'm currently working with a book coach to revise my WIP and you've helped me decipher some of the comments I've been receiving (much excite!). It was twofold. The first was the example of Jane looking away from Vincent. When I see the comment, "but what is she looking *at*?" I now know what to do! Also, I see a lot of "this is ambiguous" kinds of comments. Now I have some tools to apply some specificity to my dialogue and scenes. I always learn one or two tasty tidbits from your courses. Thank you!

Read MoreThis class covers the basics of how to convey verbal and non-verbal interactions to better individualize characters in a story and make dialogue more dynamic. Also the puppetry added context was really fun and helped highlight how to use certain emotions and gestures to establish a character! There was also a class exercise that I enjoyed quite a bit.
