fanfic and RP has trained me to play extra-close attention to the actual speech patterns and intonation of all kinds of characters, from the taciturn old war general to the chirpy teenage girl. at least in those venues it's easy to get feedback - people leave comments or crit saying that they can hear the characters in their canon voices.

if writing fic isn't otherwise a help to your original work, try the exercise above anon suggested, writing out a movie/tv scene as if it were the novelization, and notice word choice, inflection, sentence length, etc. Characters become distinct by having their own personal lexicon of words they do (and do not) use, in addition to how much they talk, how long they talk, and what tone of voice they use in which situation.
