Sometimes you want your scene to feel snappy or overlapping, like actors cutting into each other’s lines. If the AI reader waits too long before speaking, that rhythm can feel off.

This happens because the reader is waiting for its cue - usually the moment your line ends (~ 1 second). But you can tweak your script to make responses more immediate.

🛠️ Format the Script for Faster Cues

If you're not using the teleprompter, you can simply trim the last word or two from your own lines. This signals to the AI that your line has ended slightly earlier, causing the reader to jump in faster.

Before:

You: "Are you even listening to me right now?"

Reader: (delayed)

After:

You: "Are you even listening to me..."

Reader: (responds more quickly)

This small change can significantly improve pacing - especially in fast, overlapping dialogue.
