“Theater roles are written by the great masters. The greatest literature that you can possibly know are the theater roles like King Lear, Hamlet, and all of those great roles. So all you do is you dive into these unchallenged roles and see how far you can get, what kind of accolades you can get, and how good you can be in them. In movie roles, you can actually improve them by knowing a lot about your own stage technique, which helps a great deal in the cinema and how you can project inner humor even though the particular dialogue is not necessarily funny, but you can infuse it with humor.” KnowsKindHelpingLiteratureDealsRolesKnowingWrittenStageParticularMastersKingsProjectsTheaterTechniqueDialogueCinemaLearAccolades Author:Christopher Plummer
“I want an open dialogue. I want husbands and wives and people in relationships to walk out of the theater thinking, "Could this happen to me? I know I'm being tempted."” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantHappensWalksWifeHusbandTheaterDialogueTemptedHusband And Wife Author:Tyler Perry
“I think that people want to go to the movies and watch shows on TV or in theaters that make them feel good and music really does that. Not only can you watch something and connect to dialogue, but when you listen to a song, it gives a whole other element of connection and you get that feeling like you want to stand up and dance and sing.” PeopleThinkingWantGivingFeelsDoeWholeShowsFeelingsSongWatchesTvsLike YouElementsConnectionsTheaterDialogueFeel Good Author:Brittany Snow

“I began as a dramatist in the theater, so I'm always thinking about how a story moves, what it looks like, how to engage the senses, how dialogue sounds, what feels authentic and sounds real, what's funny, how to build distinctive and original characters - all the aspects of playwriting, scene-building, the architecture of dramatizing.” ThinkingFeelsLooksRealCharacterStoriesMovingSoundBuildingSceneAspectTheaterOriginalsArchitectureSensesDialogueDistinctiveAlways ThinkingPlaywriting Author:Adriana Trigiani
“The relationship with actor and director is probably closer to theater, in that, when we record the dialogue, there is very little in the way of the creative collaboration - no cameras, lighting or even locations. Then, once we record, the post process is very similar to the post flow in filmmaking - editing, sound design, mixing, etc. At the end of the day, it's all about storytelling and honing in on a tone by developing a rhythm and structure that suits the storytelling.” WayLittlesEndsActorsProcessSoundCreativeRecordsDesignDirectorsFlowTheaterCamerasStructureDialogueStorytellingSuitsRhythmDevelopingPostsToneThe End Of The DayEtcCollaborationFilmmakingEditingLocationLightingMixingHoningSound DesignCreative Collaboration Author:Glenn McQuaid
