We explore how effective dialogue communicates information while entertaining the audience and avoiding the pitfalls of unnecessary exposition. • Good dialogue has two essential jobs: communicating what the author wants and what the character wants • Audio storytelling creates stronger physiological responses than visual media, according to research by University College London • Dialogue doesn't need to spell everything out – trust the audience to fill in blanks with their imagination • All dialogue should move the story forward into future action, not dwell in the past • "The Dark End of the Mall" by The Truth podcast demonstrates masterful dialogue techniques • Small talk can establish character dynamics but should be minimal in audio drama Writing exercise: Create a standalone podcast episode based on the folktale about the woman who always wore a ribbon around her neck (see below or research!) focusing on the wedding night conversation between the two main characters. <a href='https://www.wattpad.com/37168130-short-horror-stories-the-girl-with-the-green'>A LINK TO The Green Ribbon</a>   ...But there are many! Send your script excerpt to our Discord channel - <a href='https://discord.gg/cV6HeTxQ'>here</a>Or ping to our email - writersadwit@gmail.com - thank you Links Talked about herein!<a href='http://www.thetruthpodcast.com/story/2017/1/11/the-dark-end-of-the-mall'>The Dark end of the mall - The Truth Podcast</a><a href='https://www.johnyorkestory.com/about/the-book/'>John Yorke Into the woods – a five act journey into story</a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nho44lGVV8'>That's no moon </a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_huR93tVNs'>Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy</a><a href='https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2018/jun/audiobooks-more-engaging-films-or-television'>Audible commissioned UCL survey</a> info<a href='https://sherlock-holm.es'>Sherlock Holmes</a><a href='https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/what-are-beats-in-acting-76101/#:~:text=A%20physical%20beat%20occurs%20when,the%20environment%2C%20such%20as%20rain.'>What is a beat?</a><a href='https://www.11thhouraudio.com/podcast/11th-hour-audio-ladies-and-gentlmen-the-automatics/'>The Automatics by Lindsay!</a><a href='https://www.gideon-media.com/give-me-away'>Give me away</a><a href='https://www.wirelesstheatrecompany.co.uk/podcast/dead-london'>Wireless DEAD LONDON</a> Talking points written by Lindsay Harris Friel. Edited by Sarah Golding.Music by Vince Friel.
