Words on the page don't have the same impact as somebody saying the words to you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a writer, putting words on the page is how I pay attention.
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
It isn't about the words you say. It's about the energetic message you send.
The trick is to try and justify every word on the page and make sure my character is the man who would say that.
For me, if the words are good on the page, the rest of it comes from spending some time with the script, and not like you're learning lines but absorbing what the script has to offer.
Words can hurt you. In the larger world, it frames how people think about you, and it can hurt you in lots of little, subtle ways.
If words don't have vibration behind them, and a real feeling behind them, then they're just words.
Words are just words.
The way you get better is putting words on the page and getting them behind you.
What's on the page dictates a lot of what I do. When the words are there, it's easy.
