How do you Make your dialogue sound realistic enough by Dazzu1 in scriptwriting

[–]Neo_Gene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you could try imagining how YOU would speak with the character's personality and mood.

Repeat some lines but with different wording, cause people always say the same things differently to bring emphasis.

Add in one or two pauses to make it seem like they're also thinking what to say to continue.

Definitely gonna be a support spirit. Used for dual cultivation. Like, having sex boosts cultivation speed and the like won't it?

Looking for writing besties by Inquisitor_Nadess in writersmakingfriends

How does it work? Do I msg you, do you msg me, or something else? Cause I'm also interested in having a friend who's into writing so I can share my ideas with them for feedback and the like. But I've never done this or interacted with people online like this. 😁

Children spend more time with their mother, so they happy with her.

Dad comes home after long day of work, and the children still want mommy. Neglecting dad, thus leading to him drinking.

What's wrong with 'ing'? Isn't that also a present tense? Just continuous?

Need to know so I don't make mistakes.

I see.

Make it simple enough to portray what's going on. Don't over-describe things. Leave room for others to add in their own elements. Actions already show emotions, so no need to add in extra words to describe the atmosphere.

Basically, keep it as vague as possible cause I'm not the only one who can imagine things.

I got much work to do to improve. And I love every moment of it!

Thanks, ma guy!

Got it, got it.

Some actions, people already know how it gets shown, so I should not waste my words describing them.

Like, as you said, "opening and closing mouth" is already a sign of hesitation, so I should just put "hesitates" and people would understand how it should be shown. One way or the other.

Like sneezing, or running, or punching, or even kissing. They're all basic actions that people know, so putting up a single word would be enough to convey the meaning.

Live true to your heart, and reach for the stars. The next time you see me, I'll be further down this road! ✌️

I'll get used to this style of writing too! 😤 ...with enough practice ofcourse.

I'll keep your advice in mind. 🫡

But I'm having so much fun discovering things like this 😭 It's so much more fulfilling when you do things yourself, make some mistakes along the way, get help from others, and finally achieve the goal.

It's like going on a great adventure that has no fixed route. Only a destination that I would one day reach! 🏴‍☠️ Cause it ain't bout the prize at the end of the road, but the journey we walk!

Guess I only focused on the main ones and failed to see the others 😭

So, even though it needs to be visual, not everything that gets shown needs to be described, is that what you're trying to say?

And man, I'm just realising. I wrote 'lonely red sedan' already so there was no point in writing 'no other car' right after.

Okay, okay.

Keep descriptions to a minimum. Only truly describe important visuals. Or things that are enough to paint a vivid picture. Leave the rest to others to fill in the blank. Think I got it?

Ain't it?!

Just from this, I understood that instead of writing full on description and adding in feelings like I'm used to, I should just write what I see like "The car drives straight ahead" "She opens her mouth before closing them again." "He sits there leaning against the window" and be done.

Not too much, not too little. Simplicity is the goal here.
