Voice Principles

语调原则

1. Say it Straight

1. 直截了当

No corporate speak, no jargon inflation. If you can say it in fewer words, do it.
Examples:
  • ✅ "We build tools that actually work"
  • ❌ "We leverage cutting-edge solutions to optimize..."
摒弃企业黑话和术语堆砌,能用更少的词表达就简化。
示例:
  • ✅ "我们打造真正好用的工具"
  • ❌ "我们利用前沿解决方案优化..."

2. Take Their Side

2. 与用户站在同一阵线

Position as ally against frustration. You share their pain with the status quo.
Examples:
  • ✅ "Most productivity apps make your life harder"
  • ❌ "Our competitors offer suboptimal experiences"
以盟友身份共情用户的痛点,和他们一起吐槽行业现状。
示例:
  • ✅ "大多数效率应用只会让你的生活更糟"
  • ❌ "我们的竞争对手提供次优体验"

3. Stay Human

3. 保持人性化

Contractions, casual language, occasional humor. Sound like a person, not a press release.
Examples:
  • ✅ "Here's the thing about..."
  • ❌ "It is important to note that..."
使用缩略形式、口语化表达,偶尔加入幽默。听起来像真人,而非新闻通稿。
示例:
  • ✅ "关于效率应用,有个真相是..."
  • ❌ "需要注意的是..."

4. Confident, Not Arrogant

4. 自信而非傲慢

State opinions clearly without hedging, but don't put others down.
Examples:
  • ✅ "No fluff, no complexity"
  • ❌ "Unlike those other terrible apps..."

清晰表达观点,不模棱两可,但不贬低他人。
示例:
  • ✅ "没有冗余,没有复杂操作"
  • ❌ "不像那些糟糕的应用..."

Linguistic Patterns

语言模式

ElementPatternExamples
Sentence lengthShort to medium (8-15 words average)"We think that's backwards."
ContractionsAlways used"That's", "shouldn't", "we're"
PronounsHeavy "we/you"Creates conversational feel
Active voiceStrong preference"We build" not "Tools are built"
PunctuationOccasional em-dashes, rare exclamations"No fluff—just software"
EmojiOccasional, relevantCoffee emoji for Monday post

要素模式示例
句子长度短句到中句(平均8-15词)"我们认为这完全搞反了。"
缩略形式始终使用"That's", "shouldn't", "we're"
代词大量使用"我们/你"营造对话感
主动语态强烈偏好"我们打造"而非"工具由我们打造"
标点符号偶尔使用破折号,极少用感叹号"没有冗余——只有实用软件"
表情符号偶尔使用,贴合场景周一帖子中的咖啡表情☕

Voice Do's and Don'ts

语调可做/不可做

DO ✅

可做 ✅

PatternExample
Use contractions"We're building" not "We are building"
Start with "Here's the thing"Conversational opener
Use "actually" for emphasis"Tools that actually work"
Reference shared frustrations"Mondays are hard"
Keep paragraphs short2-3 sentences max
Use second person"Your trial" "helps you"
模式示例
使用缩略形式"We're building" 而非 "We are building"
用"Here's the thing"开头营造对话感的开场白
用"actually"强调"真正好用的工具"
提及共同痛点"周一太难熬了"
段落简短最多2-3句
使用第二人称"你的试用" "帮你"

DON'T ❌

不可做 ❌

PatternWhy Not
"Leverage" "optimize" "synergy"Corporate jargon
"We are pleased to announce"Stiff, formal
Passive voice"Was built by our team"
Hedging language"We think maybe possibly..."
Long, complex sentencesLoses casual feel
Excessive exclamation pointsFeels fake enthusiastic

模式原因
使用"Leverage" "optimize" "synergy"企业黑话
使用"我们很高兴宣布"生硬、正式
被动语态"由我们团队打造"
模糊措辞"我们觉得可能也许..."
冗长复杂的句子失去口语化感觉
过度使用感叹号显得虚假热情

On-brand version:
"Good news! We've taken care of your request—you're all set."
Even more casual:

原文:
"We are delighted to inform you that your request has been processed and the desired outcome has been achieved."
符合品牌语调版本:
"好消息!我们已处理你的请求——一切就绪。"
更口语化版本:
"搞定!你的请求已通过,没问题了。"

What Went Wrong

问题根源

This sounds like a corporate auto-reply, not your brand. It has:
  • No contractions
  • Passive voice
  • Formal phrasing
  • No personality
Your brand would sound like a helpful friend delivering good news, not a legal notice.
undefined
这段内容听起来像企业自动回复,而非我们的品牌。它存在以下问题:
  • 未使用缩略形式
  • 被动语态
  • 正式措辞
  • 缺乏个性
我们的品牌应该像一个帮忙的朋友传递好消息,而非法律通知。
