Writing dialogue is one thing.

Formatting multiple characters talking at the same time is where a lot of newer screenwriters get stuck.

Do you use dual dialogue? Overlapping dialogue? Action lines? What about crowds shouting together?

In this quick screenwriting tutorial, I break down exactly how to format scenes where two or more characters speak at the same time, whether it’s minor interruptions, full simultaneous dialogue, or complete chaotic group scenes.

Clean formatting makes your screenplay easier to read, easier to produce, and far more professional.
