I was trying to figure out a good introduction for this article but couldn't think of any, so on a lark, I googled “why people love to talk.” It brought me to this page that says “Four Conversation Topics People Love to Talk About.” From the title itself I got an answer, there has to be a topic. The focus of what I will share with you is a simple formula in writing a dialogue script for radio. There are three things to consider when writing a dialogue script.

Take note of the Triple P Formula.

Purpose

Who are you writing for? Ask yourself, Is it for mothers? A working mom or stay-at-home full-time moms? What message do you want to convey? What sort of topics interest your target listeners. How is it going to be delivered?

Participants

When you know you who you are writing for, you'll be able to determine the kind of names you'll give to each of the characters that you will include in your script. Participants or the characters in the dialogue should portray lives of people whom your listeners can identify with. It would also help you choose the right voice talents for your characters.

Progression

One of of the characters in your script initiates the conversation then followed by another character. It is also important to consider the kind of music you'll include and even the sound effects to set the mood and progression in your script.

Now that I'm done thinking about the introduction, I won't google anymore for the ending, I will just end this thought with a question. To you my dear reader, what sort of topics would you like to talk about? Don't worry, the answer doesn't have to start with the letter “P.”

Oopps, by the way, have a taste of the "Triple P" in Adventurer's Archive - a Wycliffe podcast COMING SOON!
