Rewrite copy to match a tone anchor without losing meaning

Writing & Content editingvoicerewriting

Instead of vague tone instructions ('make it more friendly'), anchor on a real example. The model imitates the anchor's voice while preserving your content.

Prompt 
I will give you two pieces of text. ANCHOR is the tone I want. SOURCE is the content I want rewritten in ANCHOR's tone.

Do not change SOURCE's meaning, facts, or structure. Match ANCHOR's:
- sentence length distribution
- vocabulary register (formal/casual)
- punctuation habits (em-dashes, semicolons, fragments)
- rhythm (short bursts vs. flowing)

Return only the rewritten SOURCE.

ANCHOR:
{{ANCHOR_TEXT}}

SOURCE:
{{SOURCE_TEXT}}
Variables to fill in
  • {{ANCHOR_TEXT}}
  • {{SOURCE_TEXT}}

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt above (Copy button on the top-right).
  2. Replace each {{VAR}} with your own value. Variables: {{ANCHOR_TEXT}}{{SOURCE_TEXT}}.
  3. Paste it into one of the recommended tools below.
  4. Iterate: tighten constraints in the prompt if the output is generic.

Why this prompt is structured this way

The prompt is split into explicit steps because LLMs do better when the path is named, not implied. Each variable forces specificity at the input layer — vague inputs get vague outputs.
