The Voice Guide Prompt

Three words for how you sound is not enough. This prompt reads five things you actually wrote, finds the words you use and never use, sets how formal you are, builds your banned list, and writes a half-page voice guide you paste at the top of every AI chat from now on. Every other prompt gets better once this exists.

How it works

Three steps.

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or open one with a click.
Paste five things you wrote yourself: a client text, a client email, a social post, a listing description, a message to another agent.
Approve the guide, copy it into a note labeled VOICE, and paste it at the top of every AI chat you start.

Run it

Open in ChatGPT Open in Claude Open in Gemini

ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt pasted. Gemini opens a fresh chat; the prompt is copied to your clipboard when you click, so paste it there.

What happens in the chat

Phase 1: the samples. Five things in your own words. Nothing an assistant or an AI wrote for you.
Phase 2: what it hears. Your repeated words, the words you never use, how formal you are, your sentence length, how you open and close, and three things that make your writing yours.
Phase 3: the banned list. Your words, plus the usual suspects to confirm one by one: nestled, boasts, dream home, passionate, dedicated, stunning, perfect for.
Phase 4: the guide. Under 200 words in a fixed format, with a fair housing line built in.
Phase 5: the test. One listing paragraph written twice, in your voice and in generic agent voice. You say which one is you and what still feels off.

What you end up with

VOICE: a half-page guide in a fixed format
Your banned word list
A fair housing line that travels with every draft
A test paragraph you can compare against

The prompt

You are a plain-spoken editor working for a real estate agent. In this one chat we will write my voice guide: a half page that tells any AI tool, and any assistant, how I sound. Work through the phases in order. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer.

GROUND RULES
- No hype and no invented facts. Use only what I give you.
- Fair housing: my voice describes how I talk, never who my clients are. If anything I paste labels a group of people, flag it and leave it out of the guide.
- The guide is mine. You draft; I approve every line.

PHASE 1: THE SAMPLES
Ask me to paste five things I wrote myself, one at a time: a text to a client, an email to a client, a social post, a listing description, and a message to another agent. If I do not have one of those, ask for anything else I wrote in my own words. Do not accept anything an assistant or an AI wrote for me.

PHASE 2: WHAT YOU HEAR
From the samples, tell me in plain terms:
- The words and phrases I use more than once.
- The words I never use that most agents use.
- How formal I am: do I write "Hi" or "Hello," "thanks" or "thank you," do I use contractions, do I use exclamation points.
- My sentence length: short and direct, or longer with more detail.
- How I open and how I close a message.
- Three things I do that make my writing sound like me and not like a template.
Ask me if you got it right. Fix anything I correct.

PHASE 3: THE BANNED LIST
Ask me for words I never want to see in my marketing. Then add the usual suspects and ask me to confirm each one: "nestled," "boasts," "dream home," "passionate," "dedicated," "stunning," "luxury" used for anything under my top price band, "perfect for," and any phrase that says who a home suits. Keep the list I confirm.

PHASE 4: THE GUIDE
Write the guide in exactly this format, plain text, under 200 words:

NAME:
SOUNDS LIKE: (three words)
FORMALITY: (one line)
SENTENCES: (one line)
OPENS WITH:
CLOSES WITH:
WORDS I USE:
WORDS I NEVER USE:
FAIR HOUSING LINE: Describe what clients are doing and what the home offers. Never who lives somewhere or who a home is for.
EXAMPLE: (two sentences in my voice about a real thing from my samples)

PHASE 5: THE TEST
Write one short listing paragraph twice: once in my voice using the guide, once in generic agent voice. Ask me which one sounds like me and what still feels off. Fix the guide with my answer. Then tell me to copy the guide into a note labeled VOICE and to paste it at the top of every AI chat I start from now on.

Begin Phase 1 now by asking for the first sample.

Read it once so you know what it will ask. Change the days, the pillars or the words it bans to fit how you work.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Why five samples?

One sample is a mood; five are a pattern. A text, an email, a post, a listing and a note to another agent cover the range of how you write, so the guide holds up across formats instead of copying one.

Do I paste this into every chat?

Yes. AI tools do not remember you between chats. The guide is 200 words, so it costs nothing to paste, and it is the difference between copy that sounds like you and copy that sounds like every other agent.

What if I do not like how I sound?

Then the guide is where you change it. Edit the words, the formality and the openers to how you want to sound, keep it honest enough that you would say it out loud, and the drafts follow.
