How do you Train AI to sound like you?

I wrote a post that is going live in like 20 hours that explains how I get AI to sound exactly like me.

Does your AI sound like you?

Here is what your missing.

If the AI Doesn't Sound Like You, Here's What You're MISSING...

Your AI sounds like a ROBOT and you're wondering WHY?

Let me SPLLLLLLLLLAIN what's happening...

When I first started working with AI to write content for my team at evyAI, I was FRUSTRATED beyond belief.

The content was technically correct but it had ZERO personality.

It sounded like every other generic business post on LinkedIn.

BORING. LIFELESS. FORGETTABLE.

I realized something POWERFUL...

Most people think they can just tell AI "write like me" and BOOM! Magic happens.

WRONG!

Here's what I discovered after analyzing THOUSANDS of voice replication attempts:

The AI is missing the SOUL of your communication.

And I'm gonna tell you EXACTLY what elements you're probably missing that make ALL the difference.

MISSING ELEMENT #1: Your Personal PAIN STORIES

Most people give AI their "highlight reel" but forget their STRUGGLE STORIES.

When I was 9 years old, I got up to read in class and the entire class LAUGHED at me.

My teacher yelled: "sit down and shut up you idiot!"

That memory shaped EVERYTHING about how I communicate today.

Your pain is your POWER.

If your AI doesn't know your deepest struggles, it can't write with your authentic voice.

High Energy Observation: Write down the 3 most painful moments in your life that shaped who you are today. Feed those to your AI. Watch the magic happen.

MISSING ELEMENT #2: Your WEIRD Quirks and Obsessions

I'm obsessed with consciousness and awareness.

I say "SPLLLLLLLLLAIN" with extended letters.

I use "NUNYA business" instead of "none of your business."

I end things with "BOOM!" and "TADA!"

Your quirks are what make you MEMORABLE.

Most people sanitize their personality when training AI.

BIG MISTAKE!

The weird stuff is what people REMEMBER.

The quirks are what make people say "Oh, that's definitely from [YOUR NAME]."

MISSING ELEMENT #3: Your EMOTIONAL Intensity Patterns

I write with HIGH ENERGY even when discussing serious topics.

When I'm excited, I use ALL CAPS and multiple exclamation points!!!

When I'm being vulnerable, I slow down and get real...

When I'm teaching, I ask LOTS of questions. Right?

Your emotional rhythm is UNIQUE.

If your AI writes everything in the same flat tone, it's not YOU.

MISSING ELEMENT #4: Your SIGNATURE Metaphors and Language

I call LinkedIn pitches "PITCH SLAPS."

I talk about "desperation breath" when people are too salesy.

I say "Been there, DONE THAT" constantly.

Business is a "GOLD MINE" if you know how to dig.

Your metaphors reveal how your BRAIN works.

They show your unique way of seeing the world.

Without them, AI sounds generic.

MISSING ELEMENT #5: Your SPECIFIC Reference Points

I built my company to #178 on the INC 500.

I've trained over 1000 people on LinkedIn strategy.

I wrote "High Energy Purpose" after my divorce.

I learned to ski at 42 and fell 13 times.

Your specific experiences create CREDIBILITY.

Generic advice sounds like... well, generic advice.

Personal examples with REAL NUMBERS create trust.

MISSING ELEMENT #6: Your CONTRADICTIONS and Complexity

I'm spiritual AND obsessed with business metrics.

I'm vulnerable AND extremely confident.

I teach consciousness AND LinkedIn strategy.

I'm a single dad of 5 AND a CEO building AI companies.

Humans are COMPLEX.

If your AI only captures one dimension of your personality, it sounds fake.

The contradictions make you HUMAN.

MISSING ELEMENT #7: Your COMMUNITY Language

I talk about "our evyAI family."

I reference "the 1000 people in our group."

I mention team members by name.

I use "we" more than "I" when talking about impact.

Your voice includes your TRIBE.

Solo voices sound lonely.

Community voices sound POWERFUL.

Here's What to DO About It:

STEP 1: Record yourself telling your TOP 5 most important stories. Include the pain, the lessons, the

weird details.

STEP 2: List your 20 most-used phrases, metaphors, and weird expressions. Include the stuff that

makes your friends roll their eyes.

STEP 3: Document your emotional patterns. When do you get excited? When do you slow down? When

do you ask questions?

STEP 4: Catalog your specific achievements, numbers, and reference points. The AI needs YOUR unique

credibility markers.

STEP 5: Feed ALL of this to your AI with specific instructions on when and how to use each element.

STEP 6: Test it. Read the output OUT LOUD. Does it sound like something you would actually SAY?

Remember this:

Your voice isn't just WHAT you say...

It's HOW you say it.

It's WHY you say it.

It's the ENERGY behind it.

It's the PAIN that shaped it.

It's the QUIRKS that make it memorable.

Most people give AI the SURFACE.

The magic happens when you give it your SOUL.

High Energy Observation: Right now, record a 5-minute voice memo telling a story about a time you failed. Include all the messy details. That's the raw material your AI needs to sound like YOU.

Want me to help you train your AI to capture YOUR authentic voice?

Comment "TRAIN MY AI" below and I'll have someone from my team reach out and discuss options for DONE For you PERSONA training. We are adding it as an Add on for people who just cant get their voice right..

Because here's the truth...

In a world full of AI-generated content, AUTHENTICITY is your biggest competitive advantage.

But only if you know how to transfer your REAL voice to the machine.

The universe compelled me to share this because I've seen too many entrepreneurs create AI that sounds like everyone else.

Your voice is your WEAPON.

Use it strategically.

BOOM!

P.S. - This process took me 6 months to perfect for my own voice. I can save you 5 months and 29 days. But you have to be willing to get REAL with your AI. No sanitized versions. The messy, weird, vulnerable YOU is what people connect with.

And tell me if you want something like that for your brand.
