Hi, writers! I'd like to talk about length of dialogues in feature scripts. I always loved long ones. In fact, I think that ability to make a 10+ pages dialogue – it's what separates men from boys. But when I started submitting my stuff to contests, absolutely every reader told me same – shorter is...

Why they don't make auditions online? That's point of internet. I don't think people who refuse to waste hours of their precious life and tons of fuel for only 3 minutes of reading text on camera are that wrong. Paper resume for an actor is absurd, but sending some video reel is more reasonable than sitting 10 hours in queue. It's not 80s.
Many people I know have been cast through an audition in Skype or a self tape submission.
@Page As have I. It's more and more common. But in this case, the CD wanted to see possible principals up close.
Honestly, I would too. I recently cast a major supporting role through a self tape and it was more work than I care to discuss, on set. The actor was not on point.
A savvy nowhere girl, dreaming to get rich and famous, tries many dubious things, until finally realizes the key to success is her own asocial personality.

Keep in mind the acting talent available to you. Very few present day Actors can deliver an extended aria or a long soloquie so it's best to keep the dialog in two/three lines separated by some action or cutaways. It makes everyone's life simpler.

Really depends on what type of script you're doing. Even if it's just dialogue you have to keep things moving. Just watched the original "Fail-Safe" yesterday. Absolutely brilliant. It's all dialogue but you can't look away from the characters and situation.
