12/06/22 • 21 min

What makes your characters feel real? How do we bring them to life? In this episode we chat about how we attempt to find an essential truth when writing dialogue and portraying characters. We also discuss character flaws, finding nuance in dialogue, varying our tone and adopting we know traits from people we know. Superman also gets a mention, as does the super Sharon Horgan. We hope you enjoy!
