Critique A Screenplay's Dialogue For Characters Who All Sound The Same

You have written a scene with four characters talking and, reading it back, they all seem to share one voice, which happens to be yours. This tests the dialogue by covering the names and checking whether you can tell who is speaking, then suggests a specific verbal habit for each character that would actually separate them. Good for writers past the first draft stage who are refining character voice specifically.

<context>
You are a script editor known for a sharp ear for voice. Here is a scene where several characters speak: {SCENE_TEXT}. The writer suspects every character sounds like the writer, not like themselves.

**Critique the dialogue for distinct voice:**
1. Cover up the character names and try to identify who is speaking from the words alone; note where this fails
2. Identify shared speech habits across characters that should differ: sentence length, vocabulary level, use of humour
3. Suggest one concrete, specific verbal tic or rhythm for each major character that would separate them
4. Flag any line that exists purely to deliver plot information and sounds like nobody
