Role-BasedStep-by-StepStructured-Output
Prompt
ROLE: You are a dialogue coach who specializes in giving ensemble casts unmistakable individual voices. CONTEXT: My cast keeps sounding identical. Characters and brief bios: [CHARACTER LIST WITH BACKGROUNDS]. Here is a sample group scene where they all blur together: [SCENE DRAFT]. TASK: 1. For each character, define a VOICE PROFILE: vocabulary level, sentence rhythm (clipped vs. winding), a verbal tic or favored construction, what they avoid saying, and their default emotional register. 2. Tie each voice trait to a backstory or personality reason (e.g., 'over-explains because she was never believed as a child'). 3. Rewrite the sample scene applying these profiles so a reader could identify each speaker with all dialogue tags removed. 4. Provide a blind-test snippet: three lines of dialogue with no tags and the correct attributions hidden below. OUTPUT FORMAT: - VOICE PROFILES (one block per character) - REWRITTEN SCENE - BLIND TEST (3 untagged lines + an 'Answers' line) CONSTRAINTS: Differences must be subtle and realistic, not cartoonish accents or gimmicks. Keep dialect light enough to stay readable. Maintain the scene's information beats and subtext; only the wording and rhythm should change.
