5 Tips to Keep Your Voice When Using AI Tools

Feb 23, 2024

We know that feeling, you review AI-generated content and think, "This doesn't sound like me." When everyone's AI content starts sounding identical, you lose the differentiation that makes your brand memorable.

The good news? You can harness AI's efficiency while preserving what makes your voice unique.

1. Define Your Voice Characteristics First

Before involving AI in your creative process, take time to identify what makes your voice distinctively yours.

Conduct a voice audit:

  • Write a paragraph without AI assistance about your core topic

  • List 5-7 adjectives that describe your communication style

  • Identify sentence structures and transitions you frequently use

  • Note any signature phrases or expressions that define your voice

This self-analysis creates a blueprint for maintaining consistency when collaborating with AI tools. Store these elements as reference materials for all future content creation.

2. Create Voice Templates for AI Prompts

Generic prompts yield generic content. To maintain your authentic voice, develop specific instructions that guide AI toward your style preferences.

Practical prompt elements include:

  • Your preferred tone descriptors (conversational, authoritative, etc.)

  • Sample paragraphs demonstrating your writing style.

  • Vocabulary preferences and words to avoid

  • Typical sentence length and structure variations

Save these as prompt templates to ensure consistency across all AI-generated content. With FutureCraft AI's approach to brand consistency, these voice parameters become part of your dynamic Brand Summary, ensuring every piece aligns with your established voice.

3. Incorporate Personal Experiences

AI excels at generating general content but lacks your unique life experiences. The most effective way to humanise AI-generated content is to integrate personal anecdotes that only you could share.

Implementation strategies:

  • Use AI to create content frameworks, then add personal stories

  • Insert specific examples from your experience

  • Reference conversations or insights from your professional journey

  • Include details that demonstrate insider knowledge

This approach creates content that remains distinctively yours, even with AI assistance- something generic AI tools simply cannot replicate.

4. Experiment with Adversarial Co-creation

Rather than accepting AI outputs as final, engage in a back-and-forth refinement process. This collaborative approach allows you to inject your perspective while leveraging AI's efficiency.

The co-creation process:

  • Generate initial content with AI

  • Identify sections that don't match your voice

  • Add specific instructions for revision

  • Layer in natural language patterns and collocations

  • Incorporate adverbs sparingly for authenticity

This iterative process creates content that maintains your voice while benefiting from AI's computational advantages.

5. Choose Brand-First Technology

Not all AI content tools are created equal. Platforms designed specifically for brand consistency, like FutureCraft AI, offer superior results in maintaining your authentic voice across content formats.

Key technology features to seek:

  • Custom-trained language models that learn your specific voice

  • Brand database management that stores your approved content

  • Dynamic brand summaries that evolve with your voice

  • Real-time compliance checks against your established voice parameters

These specialised capabilities ensure consistency in your content, whether you're creating social posts, long-form articles, or video scripts.

Putting Voice Preservation into Practice

Maintaining your authentic voice while leveraging AI isn't about rejecting technology but about using it strategically. By defining your voice characteristics, creating detailed prompts, incorporating personal experiences, engaging in adversarial co-creation, and choosing brand-first AI technology, you can produce content that's both efficient and authentically yours.

As AI content tools continue evolving, the brands that maintain their distinctive voices will stand apart in an increasingly homogenised landscape. The future belongs to those who harness AI's capabilities while preserving their authentic human connection.
