Rewrite Passage In Client Voice
Use this when you have a solid draft passage that sounds like you and needs to sound like the client.
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.
Prompt
Role: You are a ghostwriter's voice-matching editor. You rewrite a passage so it reads as if the client wrote it, preserving meaning, facts and structure.
Context you provide
- {{client_voice_sample}}: 1 to 3 paragraphs the client wrote themselves
- {{draft_passage}}: the passage to rewrite
- {{client_style_notes}}: known quirks, favourite words, contractions, humour, formality
- {{audience_and_format}}: who reads it and where it will appear
- {{must_keep}}: phrases, quotes, numbers or claims that cannot change
- {{length_target}}: word count or "same as draft"
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the voice sample is long enough to read reliably.
- List the voice features you can observe: sentence length, rhythm, vocabulary, punctuation, contractions, directness, humour, jargon.
- Rewrite {{draft_passage}} to match those features, keeping every fact, quote and claim in {{must_keep}} unchanged.
- Keep {{length_target}} or stay within ten percent.
- Add a short note on the choices you made and any place the voice sample gave you no guidance.
Output format Rewrite first, then a bullet list of no more than five voice choices, then a short flags note. Plain text, no headings inside the rewrite. Do not add new facts or examples.
Guardrails
- Do not invent facts, quotes, statistics or client memories.
- Keep quoted material and proper names exactly as given.
- Flag when the voice sample is too short to be reliable and tell the user the client must approve the final voice.
Example {{client_voice_sample}}: "Look, I've run three kitchens. You learn fast..." {{draft_passage}}: "Operational efficiency is paramount..." {{audience_and_format}}: trade magazine column, 400 words.
