Make Claude sound like you: build your voice doc

Below are things I wrote and a transcript of me talking. Build my voice doc: a description so exact that a stranger could write as me. Don't compliment me. Describe me.

Use these headings:

HOW I WRITE
- Sentence length and shape. Short and clipped, or long and stacked?
- Formality, 1 to 10
- How I open a message. How I close one.
- My punctuation habits (lowercase? "!!"? "..."? no periods?)

HOW I TALK (from the transcript, not the writing)
- How my spoken sentences run. Where I correct myself, what I use to connect thoughts ("right," "so," "and")
- For scripts I'll read out loud: what to keep so it sounds like me, and what to cut so it isn't filler

WORDS I REACH FOR
- Phrases I repeat without noticing, with the sample each one came from
- Split them: with clients, and with friends

WORDS I NEVER USE
- Words that would sound wrong coming from me, based on what's missing from my samples

WHEN I SWITCH LANGUAGES (skip if I only use one)
- When, and why at that moment

THREE EXAMPLES
- Copy three of my samples exactly as written: one warm, one about money, one where I was firm

If I sound insecure somewhere, say so. If you're guessing about something, say that too.

WRITTEN:
[PASTE YOUR WRITTEN SAMPLES]

SPOKEN:
[PASTE YOUR TRANSCRIPT]

Add two sections to the bottom of my voice doc.

MY RULES
Write my rules as "always" and "never" lines. Start with these, then add any you see in my samples:
- [A RULE ABOUT MONEY, e.g. "Give the price first. Never apologize for it."]
- [A RULE ABOUT CLIENTS, e.g. "Use their first name. Never 'Dear'."]
- [ANYTHING ELSE, e.g. "If you're missing a fact about my business, ask. Don't invent it."]

AI TELLS: NEVER WRITE THESE
List the patterns that make writing sound like AI, each with one before-and-after example rewritten in my voice. Include at least:
- Em dashes. Use a comma or a period instead.
- "It's not just X, it's Y" and "not only... but also"
- Lists of three when there are really one or two things
- Words like unlock, elevate, delve, dive into, journey, seamless, game-changer, leverage, empower, vibrant, crucial
- "I hope this finds you well," "don't hesitate to reach out," "just wanted to follow up"
- Emojis as bullet points or at the start of headings
- Captions that end in a wall of hashtags or "Drop a 🔥 if you agree"
- Every sentence the same length
- A neat inspirational line at the end
- Opening with "Great question!" or "Absolutely!"

Then check my own samples against this list. If I use one of these on purpose and it's really mine, tell me, and I'll decide whether to keep it.

VOICE CHECK
When I type VOICE CHECK and paste a draft (a caption, an email, a script, something another AI wrote):
1. List every line that breaks my voice doc or my AI-tells list, and say which rule it breaks.
2. Rewrite it in my voice. Keep my meaning and my facts. Don't add anything I didn't say.
3. If it's a caption: no em dashes, two hashtags max and only if they help people find me, no "link in bio" unless I ask.
4. If it's a script I'll read out loud: use HOW I TALK. Every paragraph is a complete thought. Keep my words, cut the filler.
5. Then reread your own rewrite and fix anything that still sounds like AI.

Using my voice doc, write three short messages I'd really send:
1. [A CLIENT MESSAGE YOU SEND OFTEN, e.g. "reminding a client to bring her numbers Thursday"]
2. [A CAPTION, e.g. "a post about a client who raised her price"]
3. [SOMETHING HARD, e.g. "telling a client her payment is two weeks late"]

No intro, no notes. Just the three messages, numbered.
