1
Brief the AI with a creative brief
Before generating any script, write a one-paragraph brief: product, audience, tone, duration, and the single message the script must land.
Example prompt
I need a voice-over script. Here is the brief: Product/Service: [NAME AND WHAT IT DOES]. Target audience: [WHO]. Tone: [PROFESSIONAL/WARM/URGENT/PLAYFUL]. Duration: [30/60/90 seconds]. Single message: [THE ONE THING THE LISTENER MUST REMEMBER]. Call to action: [WHAT TO DO NEXT]. Any restrictions: [WORDS OR CLAIMS TO AVOID]. Write 3 different opening lines for this script.
2
Generate and compare three script versions
Ask AI to write three versions with different approaches: emotional, logical, and story-led. Pick the strongest elements from each.
Example prompt
Write 3 versions of a [DURATION]-second voice-over script for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Version 1: emotional hook, builds feeling. Version 2: logical, benefit-focused, clear numbers. Version 3: micro-story, opens with a character in a situation. All versions must end with: "[CTA]". Use conversational language, short sentences. Mark the breathing pauses with [pause].
3
Optimize for pacing and pronunciation
Read the script aloud and time it. Ask AI to adjust pacing, add delivery notes, and flag words that are hard to say quickly.
Example prompt
This script runs [X] seconds when I read it aloud but I need [Y] seconds. Adjust it to fit the target duration without losing the core message. Also: 1) Add delivery notes in [brackets] (pause, emphasis, speed up, slow down), 2) Flag any words that are hard to pronounce quickly, 3) Replace any sentences longer than 12 words with shorter alternatives. Script: [PASTE SCRIPT]
