Aaron Sorkin has a way with words. His dialogue in his screenplays have this energy to them. He is a true screenwriting legend and I'm sharing some tips that I picked up from his MasterClass.
What I use in my video:
Best Music for YouTubers: bit.ly/3rA67MI (get 2 extra months)
Best Stock Footage for YouTubers using Artgrid: bit.ly/33dc8ox
Here are notes that I took from what he had to say about dialogue.
Imitating the way people really talk is not a goal of his. He’s physical when he’s writing, he’s talking out loud. He Perform dialogue to test whether the words are speakable. Then, the rules of music apply, so think about cadence, tone, volume and rhythm. Dialogue doesn’t always need to be catching and crisp. Theres a dialogue case study in his Masterclass which taught me that sometimes dialogue is stilted and awkward and this brings a formality to a conversation.
