Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic	comment	Speech in fiction is fictional: too good to be true. People in fiction don't speak like we do. In real life people stutter, pause, repeat or correct themselves, go off on tangents, have verbal tics, use, like, filler words, trail off, drone on, mumble or slur their words, repeat themselves, talk over each other, repeat themselves, use bad grammar, and more. In fiction, characters always communicate in well-formed sentences, and everyone takes their turn. Sometimes they go further and speak with William Shakespeare-like eloquence, using similes and metaphors that most people in real life aren't clever enough to come up with on the spot or even at all. They never stumble over their words or say the wrong thing (unless it's important to the plot). Even "realistic" dialogue is relatively free of errors and padding. It's almost as if it was written by a professional. Note that this trope is an Acceptable Break from Reality; "real" dialogue can be unreadable. Journalists know that anyone can be made to look stupid in an interview simply by exactly writing down their speech, word for word. Verbal imperfections that we automatically filter out face-to-face become grating and irritating when written down. note A detailed exploration of this can be found here. We enjoy the fruits of script-writing and acting more when they are free to be polished. Part of the reason is to make speech come across the way it's heard rather than the way it is; humans are well-adapted to interpret speech, and as a result, what we experience is an interpretation of speech rather than a recording of it. Also falls under The Law of Conservation of Detail — because the time it takes for a character to correct themselves could be used for more dialogue. Unfortunately, this can lead people to assume Hesitation Equals Dishonesty, never mind that hesitation is one of the most common things in realistic speech and can originate from many sources other than dishonesty (someone being drunk or high, absolutely terrified, wanting to make sure they are telling the truth, needing time to gather their thoughts) or from dishonesty unrelated to the issue at hand (e.g. someone lying that they weren't doing drugs in hopes of avoiding a drug charge doesn't mean they're lying when they say they didn't commit a robbery across town). In fiction, thanks to The Law of Conservation of Detail again, hesitations and other individual exceptions to this trope likely are significant, although characters in-universe may not notice them any more than we would in real life. At times, characters go beyond fiction-speak and break out in a spontaneous eloquent monologue at length, especially at moments of high emotion and plot importance, such as Holding the Floor. These monologues do happen in Real Life, but they are rare. In educated circles (i.e. the middle classes), these were a lot more common before the twentieth century, when rhetoric was a staple of education and people listened to (and studied, if they were literate) speeches for entertainment. Some literary work has an ambiance that's simply incompatible with natural speech; for example, Fairy Tales. Exceptions to this trope can come from works produced through improvisation, either live or as part of the writing process, and tend to appear a lot in indie films. On other occasions, stumbling or inarticulate speech will be used deliberately to suggest a character is dishonest or distracted or may be used to make the character Endearingly Dorky. Aversions are often examples of Narrative Filigree. Films that wholly avert the trope are sometimes termed "mumblecore". Averting this trope seems to be divisive: either the dialogue sounding natural helps set the feel of the film and makes it feel more homely and, well, natural, or instead, it becomes difficult to understand what characters are actually saying and thus, ruining the experience of the film; so, basically it's the scripting equivalent of Shaky Cam.

There is much speculation in-universe over just what he meant by that. However, it turns out the woman misheard him, and what he'd actually said was "Zion", which has very different (if similarly cryptic) meanings.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_1e123f98	comment	The French Achille Talon series features the eponymous characters who talk in a bumbling and very sophisticated French, known for having the biggest bubbles of all Franco-Belgian comics. This is, however, used willingly by the author, both to show Talon's a scholar, and because, the series having no real fourth wall to speak of, it is often lampshade that the characters really talk in big, written bubbles, so there's no reason they should speak in an oral way. For that matter, and though Talon monologues more than the others, practically every character in the series talk in a rather sophisticated French, even more sophisticated than most written language. All that gives troubles to translators, along with many Puns that the author likes to put here and there in the middle of some overly long bubbles just for the fun.

Roger Ackroyd was last heard speaking in his study, in an extremely formal turn of phrase that was unlikely to be used in everyday speech. That's because it wasn't Ackroyd speaking to somebody, but a Dictaphone recording of him composing a letter. The murderer had rigged it up with an alarm clock to play at a specific time, when he would have an alibi; Ackroyd was actually already dead.

Raiden loses his track in monologues at times ('you need c-courage, or - or ideals, or... something like that -') but it's otherwise still extremely blatant. Similarly justified in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the main villain, whose gimmick is that he has the power to give speeches - but definitely not for Double Agent Elisa, who is a teenage girl (with Psychic Powers, admittedly) who talks in a similar manner.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_3cd90f30	comment	Arrested Development frequently has awkward dialogue with plenty of stammering. Especially George Michael whenever Maeby is nearby. Also, plot advancing points and important call-backs delivered in dialogue are often worked in so naturally that they're very easy to miss the first time, adding to the show's reputation for having oodles of Rewatch Bonuses. For example, an early episode where Michael suddenly realises that Kitty is in the conjugal trailer based on no observation other than the fact that George Sr's rambling excuse included him mumbling the word "repulsive" - the same word GOB had used sotto voce to described Kitty earlier in the day. Both deliveries of this key word are so downplayed compared to the surrounding (and far less relevant) dialogue that it's easy to miss either or both the first time around. One side-effect of GOB getting upset or excited is that he loses all ability to form a coherent sentence. "You still mad me, Michael?" and "Look at banner, Michael!" have taken on Memetic Mutation status as a result. At least a few times, the actors' stumbling over a line is left in. For example, Lindsay at one point is speaking quite quickly and reverses the object and subject in a sentence for no apparent comedic effect, which seems to be a genuine slip of the tongue by Portia de Rossi that just got left in there.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_4b790c79	comment	Iron Man features many characters talking over each other at times and repeating what they'd already said. This was in part due to the script being left largely unfinished during filming, as the filmmakers had focused more on planning the action and the storyline. Jeff Bridges at one point said he had problems getting his head around this style of film making until he told himself to think of it as "a $200 million student film." In fact, director Jon Favreau acknowledged that improvisation would make the film feel more natural. The action scenes were pretty much the only things that had been thoroughly planned out, and the broad strokes of the plot. Robert Downey Jr. improvised a great deal of his dialogue, including Tony's entire Jericho missile speech. Particularly striking in the second movie, in Tony's conversations with Pepper Potts.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_59151283	comment	There's a running joke in Metal Gear fandom that there's only one character voice - Hideo Kojima's. Partially justified in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty where the most obviously poetic speakers are the President of the US, a previous President of the US, a boss regarded In-Universe as an overbearing Large Ham, and a machine that 'was born in the crucible of the White House'. Raiden loses his track in monologues at times ('you need c-courage, or - or ideals, or... something like that -') but it's otherwise still extremely blatant. Similarly justified in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the main villain, whose gimmick is that he has the power to give speeches - but definitely not for Double Agent Elisa, who is a teenage girl (with Psychic Powers, admittedly) who talks in a similar manner. Some particularly ridiculous uses of characters breaking out perfectly prepared monologues are when characters fluently quote statistics to each other, Infodump about their backstory for a quarter-hour after having been shot through the lung, or start talking in elaborate and nonsensical metaphors about lightning and rain or letting the captured foxes run free in the wild (set to imagery of birds, at that).

This contrasts V's eloquent, rhythmical, quotation-filled, literary prose. Alan Moore's dialogue in general tends to be mostly naturalistic, but there will generally be one to three characters whose dialogue is not naturalistic, and this is almost always part of their characterisation. For example, in Watchmen the two characters with mostly unnaturalistic dialogue are Ozymandias and Rorschach, which makes sense given that both characters are deliberately cultivating identities, and Rorschach is even mentioned as having consciously chosen to alter his speaking patterns as part of his identity.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: In the first game, while the dialogue is generally proper, there are instances of mumbling and using filler, mostly during little lines - the ones that happen without the camera giving you a closeup of the characters' face. Generally the subtitles are grammatically correct, the actual line reads less so. Garrus stammers when saying he's never seen the Council in person before. Ian Newstead, fighting Mind Control, slurs and babbles and drops words as he chants "My mind is my own." Liara gets flustered and incoherent. In Mass Effect 3, Garrus says of Tali, "Tali's a welcome face around here... or... no. Well. A... a welcome face... behind the helmet. I guess." By the end they may hook up, and if discovered they both babble and stutter and in general deliver far less coherent versions of the lines in the subtitles.

When performing scenes with long speeches, Arthur Lowe (Captain Mainwaring) would often stutter and fluff his lines, and The BBC's tight recording schedules often didn't allow for retakes. Instead, the writers simply made his verbal gaffes a part of his character. A further Running Gag, albeit a more planned one, involved Corporal Jones going off on some of these — however, being a bit of a senile old bore, he'd usually launch into long, rambling monologues where he couldn't quite remember the correct details and which, by the time he'd stumbled to a halt, would be revealed to have tangential connection to the subject at hand if that.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_8d7ce8f6	comment	An interesting example comes from the 1950s radio program Nightwatch. An early forerunner of COPS, it featured reporter Don Reid following members of the Culver City Police Department around with recording equipment. Despite the candid nature of the program, and the fact that many of the suspects featured were either drunk or on drugs, aside from a few cases of awkward pauses, repetition, and occasional drunken slurring, everybody on the show is surprisingly articulate. Nobody ever says "um" or "ah" and even the drunks are polite enough not to talk over other people. Though some of that may be put down to post-production editing, it's somewhat depressing to listen to this show today and realize how much the average person's linguistic abilities (not to mention manners) have degenerated since.

Ducky's way of speaking is also realistic for someone who rambles on with stories and information on a regular basis — listen to old men swapping stories sometime, they can go for hours without slowing or flubbing a single word. Ziva, on the other hand, is supposed to be an Israeli and to "prove" this she makes the occasional misguided word choice (particularly in idiomatic phrases or slang), which makes the fact that she usually has very fluid delivery seem out of place.

Brown has stated that using cue cards or a teleprompter isn't his style, and impractical given the nature of shots like the Fridge-cam. His solution is to script out and record his lines; while shooting the actual scene, he listens to this voice recording of himself via earpiece. Due to ad-libs or differences in timing, Brown often has to pause so he can re-sync with the recording. On his other shows, he typically either ad-libs completely or speaks more fluidly with memorized lines.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_b5a03cec	comment	The long-defunct anime fanzine Protoculture Addicts once made a big deal about the amount of "uh", "er", "ah", "eh", "heh", and general grunting sounds in the dialogue of characters on Robotech. There was even an article called "Top Uh", where Rick Hunter got the top prize for the most "uh"-type sounds uttered. This is all probably due to the translation from Japanese to English and the attempt to match lip movements with the English dialogue. Also, the Japanese language does have a number of monosyllabic expressions that do sound like what English speakers would consider "filler" sounds. Insofar as Japanese-language anime and manga in general, the equivalent to "um" is "Eto ã€�ã�ˆã�¨ã€‘", with the second syllable being drawn out for longer emphasis ("Etoooooo...."). It also serves to help "soften up" statements, similar to the function of "So," or "Well.." at the beginning of a sentence.

Most dialogue exchanged between characters is portrayed very realistically - the only exception are the live statements taken by Jon, where the statement-givers always speak eloquently and tell structured, well-paced stories. This is Played for Laughs in a later episode; when Jon is away from the Institute, his assistants are forced to take live statements themselves, and all the statement-givers end up being godawful storytellers. It is later revealed that, as an avatar of the Beholding, Jon has a Compelling Voice that forces people to speak expressively and tell him all of their secrets.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_ba084d45	comment	Hamilton has kind of a variation: while nobody really talks realistically (the show has been compared to Shakespeare's plays for a reason) a character's style of singing and rapping says a lot about them, and the complexity of their lines is included in that. So John Laurens' introductory rap (which begins "I'm John Laurens in the place to be / Two pints of Sam Adams but I'm working on three!") was deliberately written to be rather amateurish and simplistic, to signify his youth and to contrast with Hamilton once he starts his very fast and complex rap soon after, as though to indicate he can't think as fast as Hamilton can. Similarly, when Lafayette starts rapping, he mixes in a bunch of French words and gets confused about the pronunciation of a word (of course, all rhyming anyway), so as to set him up as someone who doesn't speak English well - only for him to throw down the fastest rap in the entire musical later on in 'Guns and Ships'.

Since the brand-new video technology was positively archaic at the time (edits would be performed by literally taking a razor blade to the magnetic tape, which was difficult to do when the frames couldn't actually be seen with ease like on a film stripnote the emergence of computerized editing software in the 80's made it far easier to do this), all video recordings were done "live" like a stage play and reshoots were very rare and costly, meaning the gaffes were just left in. This also led to other very visible flubs, like a moment in The Web Planet where an actor in a monster costume with limited visibility walks directly into a studio camera while it's recording.

(She also sounds unpolished like that in writing when she visits TV Tropes.)

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_d461f757	comment	Battlestar Galactica (2003) plays both sides of the trope. Most characters' dialogue consists of the usual eloquent fiction-speak, but then there's Gaius Baltar, who is continuously off-balance and frequently stumbles for words when put on the spot by other characters. In the first half of the series, this is due to Baltar's terror that someone is about to expose his secret: he was the one who betrayed, albeit accidentally, the Twelve Colonies to the Cylon attack fleet, and to the fact that he's also often distracted by conversing with a Number Six Cylon whom nobody else can see or hear. This is also an exception that proves the rule since Gaius' non-sequiturs and rambling speech patterns cause everyone else on the show to think he's crazy. (Admittedly, there are other reasons, but seeing him as an Absent-Minded Professor is part of it - even if his degree of absent-mindedness is actually realistic and it's everyone else who is weird.) Yet another twist is the fact that Baltar is the most erudite, intellectual character on the show, and part of his Back Story is that he deliberately puts conscious effort into hiding a rustic accent. So the one guy on the show who actually should speak like a college professor is the only guy with rambling, disjointed, "realistic" speech.

For the first two games, Shigesato Itoi didn't know how to use a computer, so he dictated all of the game's dialogue out loud to a programmer. He would often go over sentences several times to ensure that they sounded "right", and sometimes redo whole segments of the script if he was unsatisfied with them. This was a key difficulty in localizing EarthBound (1994) and, to a similar extent, the Fan Translation of Mother 3.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends was excoriated by English teachers across the world for degrading the language with all its, like, disfluencies and, y'know, rising inflection? It's like, did they ever stop to think, y'know, "Maybe they're just talking like real people talk?" One episode makes fun of Ross's tendency to do this when Rachel dates a guy identical to Ross, named Russ. Both of them occasionally stutter, repeat words, pause between words, and use "um" and "uh" a lot.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_f6c16bab	comment	The Saga of Darren Shan: Darren is frequently made fun of by Mr Crepsley for "running [his] words together", appropriately enough for a working-class British teenager. Larten himself reveals that he used to speak the same way as Darren but expressed a desire to speak as grandly as his mentor Seba - so Seba plucked a nose hair every time he slipped up.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: Jean-Luc Picard. It ain't called the Patrick Stewart Speech for nuthin'. Conversely, William Shatner's famous... tendency to speak with... pauses in the original series is an attempt by the actor to give the impression that his character is making it up as he goes rather than reciting memorized lines (another possibility, articulated by Shatner later in life, is that they were the result of receiving the scripts late - sometimes as late as the day of shooting - and being forced to recite his lines without sufficient rehearsal).
