Finding Your Voice as a Screenwriter

Live Seminar via Zoom, 10 AM - 12 PM PST

Hosted by Writing Workshops

With the advent of AI, having your own unique voice as a screenwriter has never been more crucial. In this seminar you will learn how to be “you" on the page and have your writing stand out in a sea of other submitted scripts. 

We will focus on what kinds of stories best represent you, how to zero in on ideas that will showcase your individuality, and how to approach developing those ideas into something that has the ability to truly connect to others on a deeper level. 

SEMINAR TAKEAWAYS:

  • You will learn what kinds of stories suit you best.

  • You will learn how to express your authentic self in telling these stories.

  • You will leave with tools that will help you find your voice and style.

  • You will leave with an idea for a script that is primed to be the perfect vehicle to showcase your voice.

SEMINAR TOPICS:

  • Ease and Flow - learning the process of free-writing in order to access something deeper than surface-level ideas.

  • Tone and Genre - examining what kinds of stories resonate most with you and discovering which are the best fit for showcasing your voice. 

  • Ideation - guiding you through a tiered brainstorming process to help you zero in on ideas that you are truly passionate about. 

  • Character - learning how to mine your own personal experiences to create authentic character arcs filled with meaning. 

  • Style - learning all of the stylistic tools available to you that you can use to express yourself (scene description, punctuation, pacing, dialogue, etc.).
