AI Tips2
Test if your writing sounds natural read aloud
- Paste your draft into ChatGPT or Claude along with the prompt below.
- Let it flag sentences you'd stumble over, run out of breath on, or reword mid-speech.
- Use its rewrite to fix pacing and rhythm while keeping your meaning and tone intact.
Read the text below as if you were saying it out loud to another person. Identify any sentence where you would naturally stumble, pause in an awkward place, run out of breath, or change the wording while speaking. Pay attention to sentences that feel too long, overly formal, repetitive, or written for the page rather than for conversation. Rewrite those sections so the rhythm feels natural and effortless when spoken aloud. Vary sentence length, simplify awkward phrasing, and add natural transitions where needed. Keep the original meaning, message, and tone intact. The goal is not to make the writing more casual, it's to make it sound like something a real person would naturally say. Text: [paste here]
