In order to practice dialogue, you need to be able to set aside your assumptions and try to listen more than you want to talk. It's not always politically correct to be able to do that, but it can give you a better sense of the reality.

What I do when speaking in public is trying to do it as best as possible and trying to make everybody comfortable with my words. Sometimes getting this is very difficult, but I try my best.

It's no use of talking unless people understand what you say.

Rule number one is, make sure that you face the person with hearing loss when you are speaking to them.

It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it.

I talk by playing, not by words.

I come by writing dialogue fairly naturally, I've got a chatty family; I'm a bit of a voyeur, and if I'm ever in a public place, I automatically find myself listening.

Sometimes words are not needed, and the simplicity of expressing yourself through an art form is one of the best ways of communication.

I always defined myself in terms of my talkativeness, and being without a voice hits me in a number of ways.
