Create your Character’s Voice with These Simple Steps

The choice of words a character uses is a mirror reflecting their background, education, and social standing. For instance, imagine a character, Lord Alistair, who’s a well-educated noble in a high fantasy setting. He might use terms like “preposterous” or “indeed” and refer to magic as “arcane arts” or “sorcerous endeavours”. Contrast this with Zara, a streetwise rogue, whose language is laced with slang like “ain’t” or “gonna” and who might refer to magic disparagingly as “tricks” or “hocus-pocus”. These choices in vocabulary not only reveal their backgrounds but also their attitudes towards the world around them. <a href="https://s-k-rosewood.medium.com/create-your-characters-voice-with-these-simple-steps-cbf26c8ce00c">Learn More</a>
