What Is the 101 Tones of Voice Recipe for Jasper AI?

It’s a premium Jasper recipe from TheAIAuthor.com that packages 101 distinct tone-of-voice descriptions you can pair with any writing brief. Instead of writing in one default voice, you feed a tone into Jasper alongside your content brief so it generates the same piece - like a book blurb - in a different style each time.

How Was the 101 Tones of Voice Recipe Created?

Darby wrote the entire recipe inside Jasper itself, sparked by a fire alarm going off at his apartment complex. With nowhere to go and headphones on, he asked Jasper to write out a wide range of tones of voice and descriptions, producing 15,000-20,000 words in a couple of hours. After editing out repetitive or unhelpful results, the list - which had grown to roughly 200-300 tones - was trimmed down to 101, deliberately excluding celebrity-style tones since those are treated as a separate wildcard category.

How Do You Use the Tones of Voice Recipe in Jasper?

  1. Make sure you have an active membership so you can access the recipe in the cookbook, then download it into your Jasper account.
  2. Open a content brief you’re already working from - in the demo this is a book blurb for a story called Pitchlandia, following a hero named Rich Rock.
  3. Open the 101 Tones of Voice recipe alongside that brief, or run it in tandem with another open project.
  4. Give Jasper a command tied to the brief, such as “write a compelling book blurb.”
  5. Work through individual tones one at a time - the demo tries exasperated, flirtatious, and gossipy - and read the generated blurb for each.
  6. Note which tones produce content that fits the piece; for example, a flirtatious tone read closer to a romance-novel style, useful if you’re writing fiction.
  7. Keep the list open mainly as a quick reference for pairing an interesting tone with what you’re writing, rather than running every tone every time.

What Other Content Can You Use It For?

The recipe isn’t limited to book blurbs. The same content brief and tone-pairing approach works for other formats too - the video calls out using one content brief to generate a batch of Facebook ads in different tones, for instance. The core idea is reusable: keep your content brief fixed, swap in different tones from the list, and compare which angle lands best, whether that’s a celebrity-adjacent voice, an author’s style, or a mood like formal or urban.

What’s going on, y’all? Darby here with The AI Author. I want to share with you today a new recipe that we just released, that I think you’ll find very useful in many different forms of writing, and we’re just getting it out the door now, so really excited to get your guys’s feedback on this. It’s going to be the 101 Tones of a Voice recipe to spice up your writing with Jasper.

Now, this recipe, full disclosure, was written entirely inside of Jasper. The backstory on this recipe was a fire alarm was going off at our apartment complex several months ago. It was raining, so we weren’t going to leave, and so I just threw my headphones in, turned the music up, and jumped in Jasper and said, hey, I’ve been seeing a lot of people talking about what different tones of voices that we can use with Jasper, how do we use tone of voice to spice up and enhance the content. And so I just started asking Jasper to write out a bunch of different tones of voices and descriptions, and in just like sometimes an hour or two had about fifteen thousand, twenty thousand words. Between that and the morning when I kind of went back and revisited it, and this is the end product of that.

Now, it’s been going through a lot of editing, because Jasper can produce tons of content, but it’s not all useful, it’s not all helpful, and some of it was just repeating. So we basically generated probably easily over 200, 300 different tones of voice in total and have trimmed that down to 101, not including celebrities or anything like that - so that’s going to be kind of the wild card that you can mix and match and pair in it. What’s a celebrity tone of voice that’s going to match what your style of writing is? What are the tones inside of this recipe that you can see and access inside of the cookbook - which you should be, if you have an active membership - and then download into your account.

So what I’m going to be using today as an example for this recipe - there’s 101 different ones here - is, okay, what’s an application of this? How are we going to just start to use these tones to really generate a bunch of different content? Do we use this as a reference just for, okay, that’s an interesting tone of voice, I could see how that’s going to reference it. But how I’ve been using it and testing it out is actually in the form of writing, let’s say, like a book blurb. Say I have a content brief from an outline or from something that I’m writing, but I want to get a lot of different angles in terms of tone of voice.

So I’ve been writing this story of Pitchlandia. It’s the hero’s journey sort of structure, following a hero named Rich Rock, going against the evil consortium that’s wanting to take control of scarcity and develop some evil AI virus called Nine to Five to defeat that. So Rich Rock finds a secret AI program called Jasper - haha - that he uses to help him come up with great ideas to defeat Nine to Five. And so in doing that, Rich Rock ends up developing a game in the hero’s journey called Side Hustle, which you can actually buy on Amazon, and it was the game that this book funny refundable was written. I just asked Jasper one day, says, pitch me 180 different business ideas, and these are all AI-written business ideas with very, very little editing. So just to get your creative juices flowing.

So a lot of chit chat there leading into the recipe, but all to preface that there’s going to be tons of different use cases for using these tones of voices, pairing like celebrities, like a Neil Gaiman, in terms of writing or other people that have a lot of content out there - musicians, authors - is all great. We’re basically, if I want to open up this recipe, pop it open right here, get the recipe into your account, and then now you can just start running it. You can take these tones, you can use it in tandem with another project that you have open, or you could say, give it a command like write a compelling book blurb, and so now it’s just going to start generating some different types of content.

This is my first time running it necessarily right here, but there’s a lot of different ways that we could use these tones of voices to get different angles and perspective, and honestly, just having them here to reference really quickly is probably how I’m going to use it more often than not. Compelling book blurb, can you defeat, apologetic - and so, join Rich Rock. So what I’m doing right here is I’m just going to be generating a bunch of different types of book blurbs, ones that are going to really stick out, and if I find a winning tone of voice that makes sense in this contrast, I’m going to be able to use those.

And so I’m just going to think, okay, what might be a good - like exasperated. I’m kind of surprised that Jasper’s not flagging for the profanity here, so it’s a little bit shorter tone right here. Exasperated, does not caution, emotional, flirtatious - so this is interesting, so this is where we might find some - I’m just trying to see if Jasper is going to come up with anything really that different for something that’s like flirtatious with this kind of context right here. Thrilling tale, okay, so see here, it’s like a thrilling tale of passion, adventure, and creativity - like the only thing that mentions passion anywhere here is going to be like the flirtatious. So if you’re writing fiction or something, this flirtatious tone or like a romance novel fiction might make sense for something like that.

Urban, yeah, so it’s talking a little bit more around that fiction style. Let’s see, formal - let’s see, gossipy tone, that’d be interesting. This is only for book blurb - like feel free to use this for all kinds of stuff. If you have like one content brief for say a bunch of different Facebook ads - like you have one content brief, write me a Facebook ad or something like this. Let me see here, finish this one out - author Jane Smith - so like, creative story, introducing… so again, I’m literally just troubleshooting this on the fly and seeing, like, it was gossipy, amazed you.

I think what I’ll do here is just kind of play around with - see, like, some of the toneology here is kind of interesting, electric blue buildings, gemstones, soon to covered, was indeed the currency, luckily he met - and so now it’s literally just writing off this whole story that we could keep building on if we wanted to. But I’m curious if a creative story - again it’s all going to be - thing it out, coming back, revisiting, doing that, just others here.

So yeah, that’s how I’m using this recipe right now, and I’d love to get you guys’ take on how you’re using it. Feel free to fill out the thread in here, drop a comment inside of this thread down here at the bottom, let us know how it’s working with you, and excited to hear what other tones of voices you come up with.

Yeah, so that’s all for this one. If you guys like this type of content and you want these recipes delivered in a matter like this, we’re always going to be improving them. Subscribe at TheAIAuthor.com if you aren’t already. Until next time, keep calm, Jasper on.
