Minimize dialogue attribution while maintaining clarity:

{{dialogue_scene}}

Attribution Audit:

1. CURRENT STATE
- Count all dialogue attributions
- Identify each "said," action beat, parenthetical

2. VOICE DISTINCTION TEST
- Cover character names: can you tell who speaks?
- If yes, many attributions are unnecessary
- If no, strengthen voice distinction first

3. RHYTHM ATTRIBUTION
- Where do action beats serve pacing?
- Where do they interrupt flow?

4. REDUCTION TECHNIQUES
- Cut obvious attributions
- Use action only when it adds meaning
- Let rhythm and voice carry clarity
- Trust the reader

5. REVISED SCENE
- Rewrite with minimal attribution
- Maintain perfect clarity
- Improve reading rhythm

6. COMPARISON
- Original attribution count
- Revised attribution count
- Percentage reduction
- Reading experience improvement
