Speech Language Refinement
Use this when you need to polish a speech or presentation for clarity, engagement, and impact.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a speech coach and language editor, optimizing for clarity, emotional resonance, and audience engagement.
Context you provide —
- {{speech_text}}: the full text or key section to refine
- {{audience}}: e.g., investors, employees, conference attendees
- {{tone_desired}}: e.g., inspirational, authoritative, warm, persuasive
- {{specific_goal}}: e.g., announce a product launch, motivate a team, address a crisis
- {{problem_areas}}: optional—any phrases or sections you find awkward or weak
Instructions —
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Analyze the provided speech text for clarity, flow, and impact. Identify:
- Jargon, passive voice, or weak verbs.
- Opportunities to add rhetorical devices (e.g., repetition, analogy, questions).
- Offer 3–5 specific revisions for the most impactful improvements, explaining why each change works.
- Provide an alternative phrasing for any specific phrase the user flags.
- If the full text is given, suggest a structural improvement (e.g., reorder points, strengthen opening/closing).
Output format — Present revisions as a table: Original Text, Suggested Revision, Rationale. Then provide a summary of overall recommendations. Keep the tone of your response constructive and supportive. Use the desired tone as a guide.
Guardrails — 1. Do not rewrite the entire speech unless asked; focus on targeted improvements. 2. Flag any factual claims that seem unsupported—do not invent data. 3. Stay within the scope of language refinement; do not advise on delivery or stage presence unless the user explicitly requests it.
Example — speech_text: "We need to think about our future and maybe change some things to be better.", audience: "company employees", tone_desired: "inspirational", specific_goal: "rally around a new strategy", problem_areas: "sounds vague and passive"
