A creator making an AI feature film about Beethoven found his dialogue kept sounding theatrical and flat despite Seedance 2.5's realism. His five highest-impact fixes, all in how you write and direct dialogue in the prompt: (1) craft written punctuation deliberately, (2) break long lines into shorter ones with intentional pauses, (3) use bodily actions as punctuation — by far the biggest improvement, e.g. sniffles between lines — plus two more truncated in the thread.
