How to Create a Voice Profile
Learn how PostAuthentic learns your unique writing style so every post sounds like you — not like AI.
What is a Voice Profile?
A Voice Profile is a detailed analysis of your writing style. PostAuthentic studies how you actually write — your tone, your rhythm, the words you favour, and the words you'd never use — and uses that profile for every post it generates for you.
The result: posts that sound like you wrote them, not like a generic AI template.
Before You Start
- ✓ An active PostAuthentic account (your purchase is complete).
- ✓ 3–5 writing samples — anything you wrote that sounds like you: a LinkedIn post, email, blog post, article, or extract from something longer.
- ✓ A few minutes to think about your niche, audience, and strategic goal.
Step-by-Step
Paste your writing samples
In the Voice Profile section, you'll find fields for your writing samples. Paste 3–5 pieces you've written yourself — LinkedIn posts, emails, blog posts, articles, or extracts from longer pieces. These don't need to be your best work — but they should represent how you actually write when you're not trying to sound like someone else.
Set your niche
Enter your professional niche — for example, "B2B SaaS marketing" or "leadership development for first-time managers." This helps PostAuthentic recommend relevant topics and tailor the language.
Set your target audience
Describe who you're writing for — for example, "marketing leaders at growth-stage startups" or "engineering managers looking to move into VP roles." The more specific, the better the output.
Choose your strategic goal
Select one of five strategic goals. This shapes the type of content PostAuthentic recommends and generates for you:
- Build Authority — Position yourself as a trusted expert
- Drive Engagement — Spark comments and discussion
- Generate Leads — Attract potential clients or customers
- Build Community — Foster connection and belonging
- Educate — Teach your audience something valuable
Add your professional background
Add your career experience, areas of expertise, and recurring stories or examples you use. This feeds both topic recommendations and the drafting engine — the more context you provide, the more specific and personal your generated posts will be.
Click "Update Voice Profile"
Click the "Update Voice Profile" button. PostAuthentic will analyze your samples and build your profile. This takes about 30 seconds. You'll see a loading state while it works.
Review the generated profile
Once complete, review the profile attributes — tone, rhythm, style, vocabulary preferences, and banned phrases. If something looks off, you can update your samples and regenerate.
Tips for Best Results
Troubleshooting
▶Profile generation failed
You need at least 2 writing samples, and each sample needs to be long enough for the system to analyse (a few sentences at minimum). If your samples look adequate, wait a minute and try again — the AI service may be busy.
▶I can't see the "Update Voice Profile" button
