How to Write Video Scripts That Sound Like You With Claude Prompts

A script written by AI can save you an hour, but it can also sound like everyone else. The fix is not a better one line prompt. The fix is giving Claude your real voice first, then drafting in small steps you control.

Step 1: Feed Claude your voice. Paste a transcript from one of your best videos, about 300 to 500 words, and use this prompt: "Study how I talk in this transcript. Note my sentence length, words I repeat, how I open, and how I explain things. Save that as my voice guide and use it for everything below. Do not add fancy words I would never say."

Step 2: Outline before you draft. Use this prompt: "Here is my topic and my main point in one sentence: [paste yours]. Give me a simple outline with a hook in the first 5 seconds, three clear points, one real example for each point, and a short ending with one next step. Keep each point to one idea." Fix the outline in your own words before you go further. A good outline prevents a rambling script.

Step 3: Draft in chunks, not all at once. Ask for the hook and first point only, read it aloud, and correct anything that sounds stiff. Then ask for the next point. Use this tightening prompt: "Rewrite this section in my voice guide. Use short sentences I can say in one breath, contractions, and plain words. Cut any line that sounds like an ad. Keep it under 90 words."

Step 4: Do a final read aloud check. If you stumble on a line while reading, your viewers will stumble while listening. Shorten that line, spell out hard names, and add a pause where you need a breath. Record a 20 second test on your phone and listen on a phone speaker before you film the full video.

Takeaway: let Claude handle structure and first drafts, but keep your examples, your word choices, and your final read. That is what keeps the script yours.
