This system helps you fix flat characters, create real arcs, and write dialogue that actually works — even if your plot is already solid.

Yes — it’s made for beginner to intermediate screenwriters. If you’ve ever felt like your characters are just “filling space,” this is for you. The steps are clear, no fluff, and designed so you can apply them immediately — no advanced theory required.

Not at all. You can use the VOTE Method before you write or plug it into any draft in progress. Many writers use it to reshape characters in just one weekend without blowing up their entire script.

Most writers report breakthroughs within 48 hours. That’s the power of having a clear system. You’ll go from “I don’t know what’s missing” to “I know exactly how to fix this” — fast.

Most free advice says things like: “Make your characters more three-dimensional.” But no one tells you how. Gerald’s VOTE Method was born out of real-world experience — not theory – he based the VOTE method on an acting class he took in college to understand how actors break down scripts. That shift — seeing the page through an actor’s eyes — led him to develop a character system that works from the inside out.

This discovery has produced success in his screenwriting journey from winning multiple screenwriting awards to having his script Prodigal optioned by Vendetta Filmworks.

He’s studied directly with industry legends like Pamela Douglas (USC), Steve Kaplan, and Christopher Vogler, and has read hundreds of scripts for contests like Austin Film Festival, Coverfly, and the American Black Film Festival. He knows exactly why most characters fall flat — and how to fix them.

The VOTE Method is the result: a battle-tested 4-step system that builds characters with clear goals, inner fuel, and emotional resonance. No guesswork. No filler. Just what actually works on the page — and on screen.
