Voice as a screenwriter
Hi,
I have been thinking about writer's voice recently (not dialogue) as in the 'fingerprint' that runs through a screenplay. Often people say you can tell who wrote something because of this intangible voice.
I was curious how others think about it and how consciously you strive to find it (or not). Most of the advice I have read on this suggests to just write and it will evolve (as if by magic?). I can see this being somewhat true as you find your own rhythms and phrases, etc. but I also think there should / could be some intentionality behind it. For example, I want my screenplays to engage the reader so much they don't notice what page they're on so I avoid 'writerly' constructions, etc.
Any thoughts? Any resources to recommend?
Thanks lots!
