ANOTHER
ELEMENTS…
 If you are going to use a narrator,
their participation must be very
small within the whole story, most
of it must be occupied by
dialogues between characters.

 Dialogues must be very creative

and credible.
 CREATIVITY IN
THE RADIO SOAP

The way in which the information is presented will be
taken into account. The way the characters speak, the
dialogues must be credible.

EFFECTS present

That is, if you speak of a galloping horse
in the radio soap opera, let the horse
gallop be heard; If you talk about
someone knocking on the door, let it be
heard that someone is knocking on the
door. Etc.
Here we refer to the following: As it is a
product for the radio, it is intended that
you pretend that you are in a radio station,
conducting a program and suddenly it is
time to transmit the radio soap opera, then
you must recreate an entire program to do
this.

SOME OPTIONS

Maybe it also occurs to you to introduce commercial cuts, or last minute capsules.
