Your job as a screenwriter is to create that WOW! feeling on as many pages as possible. But writing authentic, sparkling, well-crafted dialogue that individualizes characters and entertains the reader is the ultimate challenge for screenwriters, who otherwise may have solid script elements, and yet are bound to fail because of flawed dialogue.In Writing Dialogue for Emotional Impact, bestselling author Karl Iglesias will showcase dozens of dialogue techniques and lots of examples from highly successful screenwriters that turn bland, on-the-nose dialogue into striking speech that snaps, crackles and pops off the page.How-to books and seminars discuss dialogue superficially and are more often prescriptive than enlightening. They focus on what dialogue must do but neglect to discuss specific techniques on how to do it. Expanding on the essential elements of all successful scripts - the reader's emotional experience - this course will analyze great dialogue and offer helpful dialogue rewriting exercises.If you're looking to raise your dialogue to professional standards, Writing Dialogue for Emotional Impact is the course for you.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What people are saying about our courses: Very helpful.

The concept is the core of the script. And most insiders agree that in Hollywood, the "idea is king." You can create a great hero, write edgy dialogue, weave in a deep theme. But if you choose the wrong concept, or fail to develop it properly, you're guaranteed an uphill battle at the marketing stage.What makes a great idea, regardless of genre or whether it is a high or low concept.The three emotional requirements of a great idea that create interest, excitement, and fascination.Techniques to energize any concept, including soft-sells.A screenplay should be as exciting to read as the movie will be to view, and this requires writing designed to involve the reader. Expanding on the key element of all successful scripts, the reader's emotional experience, author Karl Iglesias discusses the basics of emotionally evocative writing.Command attention on the page.Energize descriptions.Seamlessly weave exposition into description.Trim the fat.Choose the right words for emotional impactIncluded in this course is the 10 Habits of Successful Hollywood ScreenwritersIn Mastering the Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters, bestselling author Karl Iglesias will guide students to identify and develop the key screenwriting habits of A-list screenwriters, like Ron Bass, Akiva Goldsman, Gerald DiPego, Eric Roth, Nicholas Kazan, Ed Solomon, Scott Rosenberg, and more.
