: Re: A Background Voice Heard Over A Phone There's a running dialogue between two of my characters. However, I am not using INTERCUT and only one of the two characters will be in frame. The other

It's been a while since I worked on a screenplay, but I believe the proper format is this:

JANE (V.O.)
(filtered)
Fine, I'll see you on Thursday.

MICHAEL (V.O.)
(filtered, muffled)
Who the hell are you talking to?

In other words, you just describe what the difference in the sound quality would be. I've also seen it where terms like "over phone" and "in the background" are added in the parentheses (next to "filtered" and "muffled"), but I think those are considered an optional convenience to make it easier to understand what's going on.

I've never actually sold a screenplay, so take this advice with a grain of salt.
