Workshop – Talking Dialogue with Bea Roberts

This workshop will explore how to create characterful and compelling dialogue to let your voice sing through your characters. Through exercises and discussion, you will plunge into the world of voice, subtext, slang, idiom and all the interesting things people say – as well as the more interesting things they don’t.

This workshop takes place online on Zoom. The link will be emailed to you 24 hours before the event.
