Your Channel Voice

Your channel voice defines how your scripts "sound" - your unique style, tone, and way of speaking. It's what makes your content feel authentically you.

What is Channel Voice?

Voice goes beyond just word choice. It includes:

• Tone - Are you casual or professional? Playful or serious?
• Pacing - Do you use short punchy sentences or longer flowing ones?
• Vocabulary - What words and phrases are uniquely "you"?
• Transitions - How do you move between ideas?
• Personality - What's your unique perspective on things?

How Voice is Trained

When you link a YouTube channel, Subscribr analyzes your content to learn your voice. The system fetches transcripts from your top-performing videos (sorted by view count) and analyzes them to capture your style.

Simple Mode

Simple mode lets you make quick adjustments to your voice with natural language. Just tell Subscribr what you want:

• "Make it more casual and conversational"
• "Use shorter sentences"
• "Add more humor"
• "Be more direct and to the point"
• "Sound more energetic"

After generating a preview, you can provide feedback and Subscribr will refine the voice profile based on your instructions.

Advanced Mode

For full control, Advanced mode reveals the detailed voice analysis that powers your scripts. Advanced mode gives you direct access to all voice parameters, organized into categories:

Speaker Archetype

Defines the core identity of your voice:

• Age Vibe - How old your speaker "sounds" (youthful, mature, timeless)
• Profession Archetype - The type of expertise conveyed (educator, storyteller, analyst)
• Temperament - Emotional baseline (calm, energetic, intense)
• Authority Posture - How you position your expertise (peer, mentor, expert)

Delivery Recipe

Controls how your content flows:

• Cadence - Rhythm and pacing patterns
• Energy - Overall intensity level
• Pacing and Emphasis - Where you speed up, slow down, and punch key points

Rhetorical Toolkit

Your persuasion and engagement techniques:

• Hook Patterns - How you grab attention at the start
• Transitions - How you move between ideas
• CTA Patterns - How you call viewers to action
• Analogy and Evidence - How you support claims
• Humor and Empathy - When and how you connect emotionally

Diction and Syntax

The nuts and bolts of your language:

• Vocabulary Level - Complexity of word choices
• Sentence Shape - Short and punchy vs. longer flowing
• Preferred Constructions - Sentence patterns you favor
• Words to Avoid - Terms that don't fit your voice

Additional Settings

• Phrase Kit - Signature phrases you use and avoid
• Jargon Policy - How you handle technical terms
• Formatting Directives - Script structure preferences
• Do/Don't Rules - Explicit guidance on what to include or exclude

Most users won't need to edit these settings directly - Simple Mode's feedback system handles refinements automatically. However, if you're a power user who wants granular control, you can manually adjust any aspect of the voice profile.

Training from Your Own Samples

You can train a new voice or enhance an existing one using your own writing. This is perfect for:

• Video transcripts you've written
• Newsletter content
• Blog posts
• Twitter threads
• Podcast transcripts

Borrowing a Voice Style

Admire another creator's style? You can train a voice from another YouTube channel's transcripts:

1. Find a creator whose style you want to learn from
2. Use their channel to train a voice profile
3. Apply that voice to your content (with your topics and perspective)

This is completely legal - you're learning from publicly available content, just like how writers learn by reading other authors.

Multiple Voice Profiles

Some creators need different voices for different content types:

• A more serious voice for tutorials
• A more casual voice for vlogs
• A high-energy voice for hype videos

You can create multiple voice profiles and choose which one to use when creating each script. Set one as your channel default, and override it for specific scripts when needed.

Testing Your Voice

Not sure if your voice settings are right? Use the "Generate Preview" feature to see a sample of how scripts will sound. This lets you iterate quickly without using credits on full scripts.
