Read every script out loud before filming — TikTok scripts should sound like talking, not writing.
Keep scripts under 60 seconds when filming. Cuts and edits can always shorten delivery, not lengthen it.
End every TikTok script with one clear CTA: follow, save, comment, or click link in bio — never more than one.
