Refine This: How to Make AI Sound More Like You

You tried ChatGPT. It wrote something decent. But it didn’t sound like... you.

Too robotic. Too polite. Too “corporate LinkedIn” energy.

Here's the truth: AI doesn’t know your voice until you teach it.
But once you do? You’ll get captions, emails, and Reels scripts that feel 90% done - in minutes.

This is the exact method I use to refine AI content so it reflects your tone, personality, and how you actually speak to your audience.

✅ Step 1: Collect Examples of Your Voice

If you’ve ever said, “This doesn’t sound like me,” ask:
What does sound like me?

Look at:

• Previous captions or emails you loved

• DMs where you explain things naturally

• Voice notes or interviews you've done

Pull a few examples of how you explain, teach, or invite - and use those to guide your AI outputs.

✅ Step 2: Use Voice-Training Prompts to Help ChatGPT Learn

💬 Voice-Tuning Prompt:

“Here are 2–3 captions I’ve written that reflect my tone and writing style.
Please analyse them and describe the tone, rhythm, and language I use.
Then, rewrite the following caption in that style:

[Paste draft caption here]”

This gives AI a model - not just instructions.

✅ Step 3: Add Your Signature Language

Think about:

• Words you naturally repeat (Do you say “let’s be honest”? “Here’s the thing”?)

• The emojis you actually use

• Phrases you’d never say (“unleash your full potential”? Nope.)

Add that to your prompt:

“Make this sound like me. I use friendly, confident language, short punchy sentences, and I avoid overly formal phrases. I often use [insert favourite emoji] and start sentences with phrases like [insert yours].”

Now we’re getting somewhere.

✅ Step 4: Create a “Voice Cheat Sheet” for Reuse

Once you’ve refined a few great outputs, create a note in Google Docs or Notion that includes:

• Your tone description

• Common phrases

• CTAs that feel like you

• Do’s and don’ts for AI

Use this every time you brief the tool. No more starting from zero.
