The Voice

Pick a story--one you've written or are working on--that has more than one character and lots of dialogue. If you don’t already have a story like that, write one! 

Then read the story out loud, using a different voice for each character. 

I have a feeling, as you start pretending to be the characters, it’ll get easier to write dialogue for them and each character will have his or her own distinct voice.  

Give it a try!
