Use euphemisms,idiomatic expressions,registers and slang and exclamations to make your drama dialogue more lively and not so stilted.

Spice it up! Jazz it up!

This is an exercise in jigsaw speaking.Two people are paired up .
Each is given an envelope with a dialogue in it.
They rehearse their respective dialogues ,practising the dialogue using the appropriate pitch,intonation,accent,volume and regulating the pauses and timing for dramatic effect.
They have to visualize the mood and mannerisms of the speakers as well as practise the appropriate gestures and facial expressions.
They must not consult or listen to what their partners are doing.It is preferable that they practise in adjacent rooms and a full length mirror is available for them to see their own expressions.
