Our second installment for the Master Class's month of context covers the way dialog between characters may change meaning depending upon the context you create for them.

We talk about how to make this work for you, how to avoid some of the common pitfalls in writing dialog. Liner Notes: Howard mentioned episode 10.11: Project-in-Depth: "Parallel Perspectives". If you need to go back and have a listen, now it's easier!
