How to Write Unique Voices for Characters in Fiction

When it comes to writing fiction, creating unique and believable characters is absolutely essential. One important aspect of character development is crafting unique voices that reflect each character’s personality and background.

Understand your characters

Before you can write distinct voices for your characters, it’s important to understand who they are. Building out a solid foundation and developing compelling backstories is one of the best ways to ensure they always have unique voices. Here are some tips for getting to know your characters:

Write character sketches that detail their backgrounds, personalities, goals, and motivations.

Conduct interviews with your characters as if they were real people, asking them about their likes and dislikes, fears, goals, and more (the Proust questionnaire is a popular way to do this).

Imagine how your characters’ past experiences will change how they speak in different situations and when experiencing varied emotions.

Use description to enhance your characters’ voices

Descriptions can be just as important as dialogue when it comes to creating character voices. Here are some tips for using descriptions to enhance your characters’ personalities:

Use specific details to create vivid descriptions of each character’s body language, mannerisms, and behaviour.

Consider how each character’s mannerisms might influence their speech patterns. For example, a character who is shy might be hesitant to speak or repeat themselves frequently.

Pay attention to how your characters interact with their environment. Do they use their hands a lot when they speak? Do they pace around the room or sit still?

Use sensory details to create immersion. For example, a character who is nervous might sweat profusely or fidget with their jewellery.

Avoid stereotypes and clichés

When writing unique voices for characters, it’s important to avoid falling back on stereotypes or clichés. Here are some tips for creating characters that feel fresh and authentic:

Avoid using dialects or accents. Not only do these often rely on stereotypes, but they also break reader immersion unless authenticity is absolutely essential to the type of book you are writing.

Consider how each character’s background and experiences might influence their beliefs and values. One-dimensional characters built on clichés won’t have unique voices.

Think outside of the box when it comes to creating distinct voices. Instead of relying on traditional archetypes, consider combining traits from multiple sources to create something new.

How to craft unique dialogue

With the basics in place, how do we convert unique character voices into dialogue? Here are some tips for writing dialogue that feels authentic and unique to each character:

Read your dialogue out loud to hear how it sounds, and make sure it’s true to how you imagine your character to be.

Give your characters a unique conversational quirk that feels natural. An example could be that they call everyone “love.”

Vary the length and complexity of sentences to reflect each character’s personality and background.

Consider how each character’s education and experiences might influence their vocabulary and sentence structure.

Use dialogue tags sparingly to avoid detracting from the actual words being spoken.

Avoid using too much exposition or explaining too much in dialogue. Instead, let the characters speak when it serves your story.

By understanding your characters, crafting unique dialogue, using descriptions to enhance character voices, and avoiding stereotypes and clichés, you can create vibrant, engaging characters that will keep readers hooked from start to finish.

A mis queridos lectores

“Nos pasamos día a día viendo cómo podemos triunfar, cómo podemos hacer para conseguir mejores notas, cómo caerle bien a alguien, cómo conquistar a esa persona que tanto nos atrae… Nos pasamos persiguiendo cosas con la esperanza de que una vez que las tengamos todas vamos a ser verdaderamente felices. Nos angustiamos cuando nos va mal en el colegio, nos deprimimos cuando la persona que nos gusta no nos quiere, nos odiamos cuando no nos vemos de la manera que queremos… Pero, Ustedes creen que si la vida fuese como queremos, que si tuviésemos todo lo que queremos, seríamos felices ¿o sólo encontraríamos más cosas para odiar? Está en la naturaleza del hombre ser ambicioso, querer crecer y seguir creciendo. Pero creo que tenemos muy desordenadas las prioridades.

¿Por qué permitimos que esa mala nota en matemática nos arruine el día? Si al fin y al cabo es sólo eso. Un puntaje. Y tal vez tengo un nueve en literatura, pero yo quería el diez. Entonces no sonrío. En un año esa nota no va a existir, va a haber sido para nada. ¿Por qué quiero conquistar a esa persona que no me quiere? ¿Por qué quiero forzar a alguien a que me ame, cuando seguramente lo hagan mal? ¿Por qué me odio cuando veo que peso más de lo que establece la sociedad como perfección? ¿Por qué quiero el pelo lacio si lo tengo lleno de rulos salvajes?

¿Por qué perseguimos todas esas cosas? Si eso no es crecer, no es triunfar. Nos llenamos la cabeza de preocupaciones, permitimos que los estándares nos convenzan de que no estamos acá para ser felices, sino para trabajar y ser el mejor. Y ascender, y ascender y seguir ascendiendo hasta que las ojeras ya sean parte de nuestras caras, que las sonrisas naturales dejen de existir y que nuestros sueños queden en último lugar. Hasta que, de pronto, abrimos los ojos y nos damos cuenta de cuán equivocados estábamos. Que la felicidad está en las cosas más simples; en los árboles, en el viento cálido, en las luces de la ciudad y en la risa de los niños, en las sonrisas de los adultos y el brillo en los ojos de una persona cuando cumple un objetivo. Así que, a vos que estás leyendo, te pido por favor que no creas que por ese desaprobado en la materia que sea vas a fracasar en todo lo que te propongas, no creas nunca que no sos lo suficientemente bueno/a para cumplir tus sueños. No creas que tenés que seguir una carrera universitaria sí o sí, si tal vez tu pasión es bailar. Nunca dejes de hacer lo que te hace feliz, no importa qué pase. Nunca te pongas en último lugar por nadie, éste es TU juego, y lo podés jugar como vos quieras. Despreocupate, corré, paseá, reíte, saltá, juga, escucha música al volumen que quieras, hace todo lo que quieras y nunca te arrepientas de haberlo hecho si te hizo bien aunque sea por dos segundos. Cumplí tus sueños, lucha por ellos, con paciencia. Seguí creciendo, pero más importante… Sé feliz.”
