“Rob Tobin provided invaluable advice, support and encouragement in the writing of a screenplay which led directly to a staff writing position in television. I could not have done it without him.

—Jonathan R. Hiatt, writer-producer (City of Angels, Philly)

In this DVD, Expo STAR speaker Rob Tobin speaks to you about how your characters should speak. Dialogue is how we remember the best movies, and it’s how you make your script something special, something agents, producers, execs, and actors will be dying to read.

In this DVD Rob shows you how to use dialogue to: impart information, set a mood or tone, instigate action, move the story forward, reveal character, create conflict, and entertain. He also discusses the most common pitfalls of dialogue: overt exposition, author intrusion, inconsistent syntax, anachronisms, geographical inconsistencies, and cultural inconsistencies. Learn how to avoid dialogue that’s inconsistent with:

• The character of the speaker.

• The circumstances under which the dialogue takes place.

• The character of the listeners.

Part of the Screenwriting Expo DVD Series, this 2-hour masters course is an exceptional value. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the finest faculty teaching screenwriting today.
