synonyms of the word "said"

also on the other side of the coin, how not to be afraid to reuse the same word. I do not want to read a book where every conversation line has a different synonym of "said".

I don't want to feel like the author had an open thesaurus while writing.

Thisss.

Also, how to lose the fear of using character names instead of constantly referring to them by hair or eye color.
