Create a Google Docs folder with 5-10 writing samples that actually sound like the person or brand you want to emulate. Include LinkedIn posts, emails, landing page sections, internal notes, or transcripts if they capture natural phrasing. Add 5 examples of AI-written copy that feels wrong and annotate why: too polished, too symmetrical, too generic, too many transitions, no domain specificity, or no real opinion. The skill needs both positive and negative examples to learn what to preserve and what to avoid.
A voice source folder with real writing samples, weak AI examples, and annotation notes.
The best voice samples are often less polished than you expect. Clean corporate copy may be approved, but it rarely teaches rhythm, personality, or judgment.
