What makes a character memorable? How about one that's fun to read? Or one you loathe? Creating an authentic first person voice is more than just filling in a worksheet. Step into the life of your character through an improv-style approach that takes you beyond the worksheet, learning about the messages characters project through body language, word choice, and more.
