SPEECH
This is the way in which the words are spoken, which can be anything from the pitch
and volume of a voice to the accent of a voice. Speech is key to a Radio Drama,
speech can really determine a storyline and get your imagination flowing better. For
example if somebody speaks in a higher pitch than normal it could suggest fear or
anger. If somebody speaks at a higher volume it could suggest anger or an
argument taking place.
Speech also defines characterisation, if you have a teenage character you may
expect them to talk in slang. The audience can also recognize different social classes
due to speech, stereotypically a upper class person will speak using proper gammar
and pronounce their words better.

FLASHBACK
Flashbacks are used in dramas, to give an effect to the audience and also to help
them catch up on the storyline. Its a great technique to keep the audience up to
date on whats going on.
MUSIC
Music is key in a Radio drama, the reason for this being as you are only listening, so
sounds and music make a massive impact on what you think is going on. Music can
be used to set a scene or used to create tension. Without the music the drama would
be considered boring or unimaginative.
