Three important things about creating effective dialogue:
-It is important for the dialogue to sound "real" and for it to flow. You don't want the dialogue to sound stiff. Think about how real people talk and the rhythm with which they speak to write effective dialogue.
-Each character should sound different from one another in order to differentiate between them. They shouldn't sound like the writer and they need their own identity. Getting the right feeling for a characters speech can show the reader how they were raised and what they feel.
-Learn who your characters are in order to nail their speech. If you can understand your characters personality and how they would act in different situations then you can hear what they would say in your mind.
