S39E9 - Using Subtext in Dialogue

When we communicate with each other, most of what is relayed and understood has nothing to do with the words we actually say. When you're dealing with a written format, conveying meaning with something like tone or body language is incredibly difficult. Yet it is absolutely essential. That is why we are taking this episode to look at subtext within dialogue specifically.

For a breakdown of what subtext is and how it can be used, you can listen to S16E3 - Between the Lines: Importance of Subtext. In this episode, we look at what it looks like in and around dialogue and the different tools to help you convey the meaning you intended.
