• Un autre petit conseil, lorsque tu vois une virgule dans le dialogue à l’écrit, cela marque une pause lors de la lecture, c’est le même principe quand tu liras ton dialogue à l’oral ➔ il faut marquer des temps de pauses qui correspondent à la reprise de la respiration et qui permettent d’alléger le dialogue, éviter de faire un « gros paragraphe lu d’un coup », cela est vite lassant pour l’auditeur.

Les temps de pauses correspondent bien sûr à qques mini secondes, ils sont plus courts pour les virgules et un peu plus long pour les points.
