This is my first time hearing about "The Talking Draft Method." Have you heard of it? Do you use it when you write scripts?

Nope. Hard pass on spec ideas but I wouldn't mind asking employers for talking recordings/or full storyboard first draft of a paid gig.

I might try it once with a spec idea to see how it goes, Dan MaxXx, but I would do the same thing that you said ("wouldn't mind asking employers for talking recordings/or full storyboard first draft of a paid gig").

Thanks for the crosspost, Maurice. I certainly swear by the Talking Draft Method ;)

You're welcome, Fred Gooltz. I'm going to check out the Talking Draft Method soon.
Never heard of it, but as I work alone I'm not sure I'd want to add an additional stage to the writing process.

Because my scripts are based on books I have written, the books become the talking drafts.

I've always outlined outside of Final Draft. It used to be on a spreadsheet. So, Geoff Hall honestly I think of this as the last step of my own outlining stage. I outline for ages, usually using Frank Daniel's very flexible 8-Sequence guide (www.scriptoutliner.com). Usually 90% of my first draft's work time is actually troubleshooting a beatsheet. Then, conveniently, I can improv a talking draft right there on my outline inside the same app.

Wish I'd know about it before I wrote my ten Jolt Survival Scripts. LOL
