"At the end of the day, your voice is an expression of you. What you care about. What you are passionate about. What enlivens you. What compels you to sit down and pound out pages. In terms of discovering your voice, there is perhaps nothing more important than tapping into that core aspect of your Self. What do you want to say? How do you want to say it?"
~Scott Meyers
Do you have a voice as a screenwriter? As Scott Meyers points out in the article (that I'm posting the link for below) writers like Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino have distinctive voices as writers. These voices make their work recognizable.
From where I sit, my voice has developed over time. One of the key ingredients for me is coming at a story from an interesting angle. For example, if you're going to write a screenplay about a famous person or historical event, come at from a very compelling unique perspective that nobody has thought of before you.
How you found your voice yet?

I've been told I have a distinct voice, but it wasn't somethng I set out to find. More like it found me, I suppose. :-)
Many voices in my head ...lol... they are learning how to take turns...lol. smile. My wife is translating; she is the writer, I'm just water.
I like the question Meyers asks: If your writing were a musical instrument, what would it be?
I think oboe. Lurking, undertone, wistful, and uses a lot of air.

I found my voice but I'm suffering from a little laryngitis right now.
Took me three years, but I found mine.

Definitely have a voice. The weirdest thing... it sounds a lot like I think.
