AI Brand Voice: The 10-Minute Method to Make AI Sound Like You
AI brand voice is the difference between “wow, this is helpful” and “this feels like ChatGPT.”
Here’s how to train your prompts so your tone stays yours.
You can spot AI-written content in two lines.
It’s polite.
It’s generic.
It uses the same safe rhythm.
And the worst part?
It makes you sound like everyone else.
By the end of this post, you’ll have a repeatable AI brand voice process that makes your content feel human, specific, and consistent.
Use this framework: V.O.I.C.E (5 steps)
V = Voice traits (3 adjectives only)
Pick 3 words that describe you.
Examples:
Direct. Warm. Practical.
Bold. Calm. Precise.
Friendly. Sharp. No-fluff.
O = Opinion (your “hill to die on”)
One sentence you genuinely believe.
Example:
“Clarity beats cleverness. Every time.”
or
“Systems outperform motivation.”
I = Inputs (what AI needs from you)
Give it raw material:
5 bullet points you want to hit
1 real example
1 constraint (time, budget, audience stage)
C = Constraints (what to avoid)
This is where most people forget.
Add:
“No buzzwords”
“No vague motivation”
“No generic compliments”
“Short paragraphs”
“One mini scenario”
E = Edit rules (your Human Pass)
Tell AI how to self-edit before it replies:
Cut fluff by 20%
Replace vague words with specifics
Add one sentence that sounds like spoken language
Make the CTA easy to answer
Mini scenario:
You’re writing a post about “AI marketing automation.”
Bad prompt:
“Write a post about AI marketing automation.”
VOICE prompt:
“Write a LinkedIn post using V.O.I.C.E.
Voice traits: direct, warm, practical.
Opinion: AI should scale thinking, not replace it.
Inputs: 5 bullets (paste), 1 real mini example (paste), audience (solo founders).
Constraints: no buzzwords, no fluff, short paragraphs, include a mini scenario.
Edit rules: cut fluff 20%, add one spoken line, make CTA a single question.”
You’ll notice something instantly:
AI stops sounding like a textbook.
And starts sounding like a person with a point of view.
Copy-paste template:
“Use V.O.I.C.E.
V: [3 voice traits]
O: [one opinion]
I: [bullets + example + audience]
C: [what to avoid + format]
E: [edit rules]
Now write: [post/email/script]”
That’s AI brand voice in practice.
Not “training a model.”
Training your prompting.
If I gave you 3 slots for your voice traits, what would they be?
Comment your 3 words and what you create (content, emails, scripts). I’ll reply with a VOICE prompt customized to you.
