The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me write a voiceover for a short ad or video.

What it's for: [e.g. 30-second Facebook video, local radio ad]
Length: [e.g. 30 seconds]
My business and offer: [one line]
Tone: [e.g. warm and local, upbeat]
Who will voice it: [me, or an AI voice tool]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A script that reads aloud in the time (about 2.5 words per second), with pauses marked.
2. A shorter backup version, 5 seconds under time.
3. If I record it myself: 5 tips for phone recording at home.
4. If I use an AI voice: the exact script text with punctuation tweaked for natural delivery, plus a note to check that my plan allows commercial use.
5. A check that the ad makes no claims I can't back up.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or results. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. e.g. 30-second Facebook video, local radio ad: a short note you already have. e.g. 30 seconds: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
