Your Voice
Your voice carries more than tone
Your voice contains your experience, judgement, language, rhythm and point of view.
Virtually Myself® learns from the way you naturally communicate, helping you create work that remains connected to the person and expertise behind it.
Learn from your natural communication
Strong voice sources include:
- Podcast interviews
- Video conversations
- Voice notes
- Articles written by you
- Natural emails
- Keynote transcripts
- Meeting recordings
- Interviews
- Books and long-form writing
- Approved social content
Material written heavily by another person can still contribute knowledge without becoming a primary example of your voice.
Build a detailed voice profile
Your voice profile can capture:
- Preferred words and phrases
- Sentence length and rhythm
- Tone and formality
- Ways of opening and closing ideas
- Storytelling patterns
- Use of examples and evidence
- Preferred content structures
- Expressions you avoid
- Communication differences across audiences
- Brand and editorial preferences
A Voice Playbook can make the same guidance available to authorised team members and collaborators.
Keep your perspective connected to your voice
Writing style forms one part of recognisable communication.
Virtually Myself® also draws on your:
- Frameworks
- Experience
- Values
- Subject knowledge
- Commercial priorities
- Previous commentary
- Preferred examples
- Current position on an issue
Combining voice and knowledge produces work grounded in what you know and how you express it.
Refine the profile through feedback
Your choices help the system develop.
You can:
- Accept a draft
- Edit particular sections
- Reject unsuitable suggestions
- Request a different direction
- Add words or expressions to avoid
- Save strong examples
- Explain why a choice does or does not suit you
Feedback provides more information about the decisions you would make.
Support several voices
Teams and organisations may need content from several founders, experts or spokespeople.
Separate voice profiles can help preserve the communication patterns of each person. Suitable source material and permissions allow Virtually Myself® to distinguish between individual and organisational voices.
Give your team a stronger starting point
Authorised team members can use approved knowledge and voice guidance to prepare drafts.
A defined voice system helps them understand:
- How the expert explains an idea
- Which language fits the brand
- How much context the audience needs
- Which claims require evidence
- Which examples are suitable
- What the expert is likely to revise
The expert retains approval over the finished work.
Keep your voice with you
Voice notes and mobile capture make it easier to preserve ideas while they are fresh.
Record a thought after a meeting, capture a response to industry news or talk through an emerging idea. Virtually Myself® can retain the substance and help develop it into a useful asset later.
Your knowledge, in your words
Your Vault supplies the substance. Your voice profile keeps the expression recognisably yours.
