Writing Effective Dialogue

-Say it to yourself-
 Make sure the dialogue sounds good out loud, make sure it flows. Act it out in whispers.

-Develop a Voice-
If your characters have a strong voice and mannerisms, a unique style of speaking, then their lines will come naturally. Every character shouldn't sound like you. This isn't Julia Roberts' acting career.

-Create Good Situations-
Tense situations, unusual situations, all spark better dialogue. The character's lives shouldn't be boring.
