Subject Lloyd is a proof-reading star!
“What I learned doing this assignment is a script is a living and breathing document that will change right up to the day of the shoot. I can improve it every day”.
Working hard every day to become the best writer I can be and as a result I do become the best writer in Hollywood.
I have been doing this process since day one as I am in the Binge Worthy class as well. I am on the 55th pass right now! I keep finding mistakes despite the fact I have read it backwards several time.

WIM Module 9 Lesson 3 proofreading
Lenore Bechtel is a proofreading star!
What I learned from this assignment is how great it is to have Final Draft read my screenplay aloud to me.
For anyone who hasn’t discovered how to do this: Open your Final Draft screenplay. Go to Tools, and choose the third choice, Speech Control. I had to “select all” before it would work for me. Then I was given the opportunity to select “play” and the reading started on the title page. I was surprised at how realistic the reading was. All phonetical, so a few pronunciation mistakes were made, but basically, the reading was very expressive.
Hurrah! I spotted only two errors and was able to stop the reading and correct them immediaately. Hearing the dialogue this way was wonderful, and I’m happy that even some of my very longest lines sounded precisely the way I’d intended.
