Your Voice DNA file is a set of instructions that tells Claude exactly how to write in your voice. Once it's built, you attach it to any Claude Project and every piece of content Claude writes for you sounds like you — not like a generic AI assistant.

How to build yours

Step 1: Download the blank template below

voice_dna_template.md

Step 2: Open a new Claude conversation and upload the template. Tell Claude: "Use this as the structure for my file."

Step 3: Copy the interview prompt below and paste it into the same conversation.

Step 4: Answer the questions. When Claude is done, download your completed file and save it somewhere you'll find it.


The Interview Prompt

Copy this and paste it into Claude alongside the uploaded template.

I want to build a Voice DNA file so AI can write content in my voice. I've uploaded a blank template — use it as the structure for my completed file. Ask me the questions below one section at a time. Wait for my answers before moving on. If I give a vague answer, push me to be more specific. Don't let me get away with "I just want to be authentic" or "I have a conversational tone" — make me show you what that actually means with a real example.


Section 1: Who are you?

  1. What do you do and who do you do it for? Give me the dinner party version, not the LinkedIn version.
  2. What have you actually built or done that you're proud of? Be specific — numbers, names, real outcomes.
  3. What's something about you that surprises people when they find out?
  4. What do you believe about your industry that most people in it are too afraid to say publicly?

Section 2: Your audience

  1. Describe the exact person you're talking to — not a demographic, a real type of person. What are they stressed about? What do they want but won't say out loud?
  2. What do most creators or brands in your space get wrong about this person?
