Maintaining that energy and rhythm is very important, so keep an eye on the dialogue and make sure it stays as quick and snappy as possible (unless it's one of the soliloquies that is meant to sound verbose). Cutting just a few words here and there (bits like "oh, well, okay..." or "you know as well as I do...") can tighten up a line and improve the timing of it. Actors don't always need more words to say; they just need the right words.ERIC L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13216007825025566129noreply@blogger.com
