Play Script

Here are some more information for Play Script:

In a play, practically the entire story is carried out on the shoulders of the dialogue. Here, a writer who writes in many mediums needs to note that a dialogue in a short story or a novel tends to be quite different from the story told on stage or screen. Stage and screenplay dialogue has to fit the tone and the pacing of the entire work, and it must be written in a way that it can be uttered much more easily when compared to the dialogue in a story or a novel.

First and foremost, dialogue unveils characters. A playwright needs to have a good idea who his main players are and who they will become at the end of the play, inside and out. Characters in a play speak through their own vocabulary, accent, and life experiences.

Open the playscript of the famous play, Nora by Ibsen. See how in the beginning of the play, the husband plays the upper hand and Nora answers meekly. Then, observe how, at the end of the play, the dialogue has changed with the evolution of the plot and the characters.

As you are making your characters speak, make sure they are using their own words and not saying a pretty or clever idea the writer has put in their mouths. Even in plays written to underline some serious perspective or undertaking, like protesting social injustice, a player's dialogue should not consist of long tirades with excess verbiage.

To illustrate this point, let's look at an example. If you have a farmer Uncle John who is about to lose his farm and is only educated in the ways of the farm, he would not give a big speech with long words underlying the farm economy. Uncle John would not say in one breath, "Forming an equitable system of high-quality government is an imperative, for a good government must formulate farming to become profitable for whoever is disposed to be trained and is eager to exert bodily effort. The plight of the poor farmers is obvious or else most of the population will starve to death, and this capitalism will not save us from the farmer's predicament." Uncle John would be more likely to say, "Oh, my back! I'm bushed. Dangit! Too much...everything's too much. Hope it can be saved...the farm, I mean."

In the same vein, too many wisecrack answers in any one character's speech-just for getting laughs-can destroy the continuity of the story. The gags, even in a comedy script, must be compatible with the character, and the humor usually hides in the flow of the plot. In Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well the gags are uttered by the clown, fitting with his character.

Talking about Shakespeare's clown, a writer needs to pay attention to the speech of the minor characters, because their words are crucial in developing and advancing the play. Their dialogue, for creating drama and for pushing the plot forward, needs to be brief and to the point.

Observe how the parlor-maid advances the play in Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, in the beginning of Act V.

"THE PARLOR-MAID [at the door] Mr. Henry, mam, is downstairs with Colonel Pickering.

MRS. HIGGINS. Well, shew them up.

THE PARLOR-MAID. They're using the telephone, mam. Telephoning to the police, I think.

MRS. HIGGINS. What!

THE PARLOR-MAID [coming further in and lowering her voice] Mr. Henry's in a state, mam. I thought I'd better tell you."

To sum it up, the dialogue must fit in with the story of the play smoothly, must suit a character's personality, must be capable of being uttered effortlessly, and must be understood easily.

Is the Dani Johnson Script Book All it Claims to Be?

A background on Dani Johnson

Dani Johnson is one of the most well known stories to come out of the world of Network Marketing. A broke cocktail waitress - living homeless with only $2.03 to her name, Dani Johnson had just lived through her husband stealing everything she had and running off to another country with all of her money. Homeless, broke and destitute of every success she had ever had, she started a distributorship in the Home Business industry off of borrowed money.

In 10 hours, she had made nearly $2000. That year, from a business she started out of a car and a pay-phone, she pulled in more than $250,000 in profit and has since gone on to be one of the most remarkable leaders in the history of Network Marketing.

What is the Script Book I've heard so much talk about?

I have to say that Dani Johnson is the best recruiter I have ever heard in the Network Marketing industry. She is one of those 'prodigy' business owners that have a skill level that almost seems unnatural because it is so comprehensive. The script book is a collection of the words, phrases, and questions that Dani Johnson personally used to recruit 30-100 people a month into her primary opportunity.

In the Script Book, there are two audio training CD's that come along in the package that explain the techniques, principles, and strategies you need to know when using the Dani Johnson scripts.

In the CD's, you get to hear Dani Johnson personally role playing with several people using her own scripts, and it helps to understand the tone and posture that should be in your voice while recruiting.

What key concepts make Dani's Script Book so effective?

Dani's techniques are driven by the same ideas that create all relationship-recruiting processes.

She focuses on building a strong rapport with her prospects and finding out what key factors they are looking for in an opportunity. She then drives the entire recruiting process around the core elements that her prospect already told her they wanted.

So Dani Johnson has a personal, heart felt, one on one approach that draws out the dreams, ambitions, and desires of the prospect. She creates this by asking heart felt questions, making people feel appreciated, and genuinely being interested in what the other person is saying.

What are some of the advantages to using the Dani Johnson Script Book?

There are both some advantages and disadvantages to using the Dani Johnson script book that you need to consider before you decide to base your business recruiting off of these strategies.

The advantages are many. If you use the script book, you have a simple guide to judge your recruiting mistakes by, and it allows for tremendous feedback and improvement in the sponsoring process.

You'll be given an idea of things that are both a good and a bad idea to discuss with your prospects - if you want to be successful. Also, the Dani Johnson techniques are proven through thousands of testimonials to be effective in helping people even with no previous success to recruit like crazy.

There are also some strong disadvantages to using the Dani Johnson script book, however. You might not enjoy reading a script when you are on the phone. You also might just plain not enjoy the Dani Johnson recruiting methods, or the way she talks to people.

For a period of time in my business, I had a lot of people in my team using the Dani Johnson script book. While it certainly was successful for those who were good with it, it actually made some people worse at recruiting because the process was so 'against their grain.' In short, the script book is definitely not the solution for everyone, while it certainly provides effective strategies for certain people.

The other thing to consider if you want to work with Dani's script book is where you buy your leads.

The script book certainly does work for those who are trained and practice a great deal with it. However still need quality prospects to talk to. Most MLM trainers would recommend that you purchase leads from lead vendors and 'cold-call' them. Working with purchased leads can be frustrating, expensive, and a poor use of time unless you are a 'Ninja' at recruiting.

The most effective strategy in today's market is using the strategies of 'Attraction Marketing' to generate your own prospects. That way they know who you are and are expecting your call. Those people much more easy to recruit, and it takes less time and is easier for your team to learn.

Consider creating a strong, simple and effective attraction marketing system into your business - you'll be on your way to recruiting more distributors faster than you ever have dreamed possible!
