Quote: Good text turns readers and listeners almost to the seer. The dramatic dialogue with its power connects two silent areas: the inner world of the hero and the inner world of the listener-listener. Like radio transmitters, one subconscious mind is tuned in to another - a flair tells us what qualities in the characters are close to us.
About the book: In the book of Robert McCa - an American screenwriter and one of the most famous scenario teachers in the world, the author of the famous bestseller “History for a million dollars” reveals the secrets of creating a dramatic dialogue, starting from his function, content, form and technology speeches of actors. This is a textbook-study, which discusses both the most effective techniques of “dialogue writing” and errors that are in wait for the author in the process of work, including cliches, verbosity and incredibleness.
Why the book is worthy of reading: it is known that the dialogue, the speech of the heroes is the most difficult of what the writer and screenwriter have to cope with. A bad dialogue is able to negate a brilliant idea, to make the most fascinating story dead, and its characters are cardboard. At the same time, a lively, brilliant dialogue can save a mediocre plot, forcing the audience to fall in love with the heroes and turn a blind eye to the imperfections of history.
It was traditionally believed that the ability to create unique dialogues is akin to magic and is available to elected authors who have a unique “hearing” and the ability to recognize the voices of the heroes. Robert McCa"s book refutes this belief and serves as a navigator for authors who want to master the skill of dialogue writing. It shows in detail how the dialogue is arranged, exposing each brick of its structure, making the invisible visible and knowable the unknowable.
The book teaches to invest in the mouth of the heroes such words that make them truly alive, attractive, such that the viewer and reader follow them relentlessly.
Who is the author: Robert McCa is the most authoritative teacher and expert on the art of creating stories. Over the past 30 years, he has prepared many scriptwriters, prose writers, playwrights, poets, film documentary, producers, directors. More than 60 students of McCa received awards of the American film academy, 200 became its nominees, 200 received the Emmy Award, 1000 people were nominated for it, 100 became laureates of the US scriptwriters guild, and 50 laureates of the US Directors Award
