Friend said my characters all talk the same, made me read them out loud
Was at a coffee shop last Tuesday and a buddy pointed out every character in my draft uses the same short sentences. Made me realize I write everyone in my own voice, not theirs. Anyone else have a trick to separate character voices?

Reading my dialogue out loud at home helped me catch my own voice bleeding through last month actually.
