Karl Iglesias – Writing Dialogue for Emotional Impact Online Course

Writing Dialogue for Emotional Impact Online Course

There are three kinds of feelings when reading a script – yes, no, and WOW! 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 over 50 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 discussing specific techniques on how to do it. Expanding on the essential elements of all successful scripts – the reader’s emotional experience – this 4-week course will analyze great dialogue and offer helpful dialogue rewriting exercises.
