Hey there! Curious about how we crafted an email that could've come straight from the Bard of Avon, Shakespeare? Here's the scoop:
1. I hit up the web to search for guide to Shakespeare's iconic voice, and found a PDF that laid out the ins and outs of Shakespeare's writing and speaking style.
2. Then, I uploaded the PDF into my SmartChat™ and then I tagged it as "Shakespeare Voice Doc".
3. Next, I used Erika's guide on creating a voice doc. With her tips in mind, I started a convo with my content using this prompt:
A "voice" document is a way to describe the writing style based on all the content here. When creating a "voice" document, use the concept of "over statements". An "over statement" is one good thing over another good thing. For example, if the content is humorous, the over statement might be "Humorous over Intellectual".
Create a "voice" document using "over statements" in a Markdown table, with each row being a different "over statement" in bold in the first column, followed by a 100-word summary detailing why that over statement was chosen in the second column. In the third column, give an example from the body of work to support the conclusion in column one.
4. Once the voice doc was all prepped and ready to go, I dropped in this prompt to kick off the email writing:
This is the Shakespeare voice: [insert the voice doc created after using the prompt above]. Next you will rewrite the content I share in the "Shakespeare voice". Respond with "I am ready to re-write in the Shakespeare voice."
5. And just like that, I asked it to write up an email using the Shakespeare voice doc, and bam! Here's the masterpiece it produced:
