100 Dialogue Tags You Can Use Instead of “Said”

For the writers struggling to rid themselves of the classic ‘said’. Some are repeated in different categories since they fit multiple ones (but those are counted once so it adds up to 100 new words). 

1. Neutral Tags 

Straightforward and unobtrusive dialogue tags: 

Added, Replied, Stated, Remarked, Responded, Observed, Acknowledged, Commented, Noted, Voiced, Expressed, Shared, Answered, Mentioned, Declared.

Asked, Queried, Wondered, Probed, Inquired, Requested, Pondered, Demanded, Challenged, Interjected, Investigated, Countered, Snapped, Pleaded, Insisted.

3. Emotive Tags 

Emotional dialogue tags:

Exclaimed, Shouted, Sobbed, Whispered, Cried, Hissed, Gasped, Laughed, Screamed, Stammered, Wailed, Murmured, Snarled, Choked, Barked.

4. Descriptive Tags 

Insightful, tonal dialogue tags: 

Muttered, Mumbled, Yelled, Uttered, Roared, Bellowed, Drawled, Spoke, Shrieked, Boomed, Snapped, Groaned, Rasped, Purred, Croaked.

5. Action-Oriented Tags

10. Surprise Tags

Shock-inducing dialogue tags:

Gasped, Stunned, Exclaimed, Blurted, Wondered, Staggered, Marvelled, Breathed, Recoiled, Jumped, Yelped, Shrieked, Stammered.

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

Fanfiction is also treated like a big joke and some people don't really consider it "real writing". So whenever I tell people that reading is my hobby and then they ask me what's my favorite literature piece, I just say it's Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen but it's actually a very long narumitsu angst fanfic i randomly found on ao3...

I have read fanfics that have left me in tears, both happy and sad, had me laughing my ass off, wanting to scream. Fanfics might be seen as weird and taboo (weirdly enough) but no one can say that some fics aren’t so well written it feels like you’re reading a best selling book!

Godot isn't present in the second trilogy not because he's in jail but because he's been working as a maid at Tres Bien trust🤞

I am almost late as always but whatever

Happy maid day and (apparently, according to several users of twitter dot com) Godot day

Timeline is screwed up but who cares

A krisnix comic i was working on and then gave up on because art is hard

as much as i love narumitsu, i also really love krisnix, just because i needed a bit of toxicity lol

krisnix cringe compilation

Im crying

I've had this headcanon rattling around in my head for a while

The worst one was Inga Karkhuul Haw'kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz Khura'in III

(for those who didn't get it, it's Inga Karkhuul how could this name be any longer or more pompous than it already is Khura'in III)

there were times when i was sure that puns in names would only be in the first episode because it was a simple tutorial, and now i sometimes forget that it is correct to say "Sherlock Holmes" not "Herlock Sholmes"

LMAOOOOO

SOMEONE MAKE THIS ACE ATTORNEY PLSSSSEASSE
