“In the book Finding Your Writer’s Voice: A Guide to Creative Fiction, authors Thaisa Frank and Dorothy Wall tell us this: “Great impersonators throw aside their own way of talking and take on the voice of another. As you work with character, letting yourself become possessed by this person, you want to abandon the automatic voice in your head that offers dialogue as you would speak it, and become the voice of this other person.” Okay, it sounds like channeling. We’ve gone from Zen to New Age. Call it what you want—it works.” (Gloria Kempton, Write Great Fiction – Dialogue)
