🎤 How to Craft a Brand Voice That Actually Resonates

Your brand voice is more than just words — it’s how your audience feels when they hear from you. At You Deserve More Media, we help creators and entrepreneurs develop a voice that’s not only consistent, but deeply connected to their values, audience, and goals. If your brand sounds like everyone else, it’s time to change that.


🔍 The 5 Key Elements of a Brand Voice That Resonates:

1. Clarity Over Cleverness

The Mistake: Trying too hard to sound witty or trendy.
The Fix: Focus on being clear, direct, and aligned with your message. Clarity builds trust.

2. Consistency Across Channels

The Mistake: Sounding formal on your website but casual on Instagram.
The Fix: Create voice guidelines that apply across every platform — from emails to captions.

3. Audience Alignment

The Mistake: Speaking in a tone that doesn’t match your audience’s expectations or energy.
The Fix: Use audience research to shape a voice that feels familiar, relatable, and relevant.

4. Emotional Connection

The Mistake: Keeping things too surface-level or transactional.
The Fix: Infuse your messaging with empathy, storytelling, and purpose to build deeper relationships.

5. No Defined Voice Guidelines

The Mistake: Leaving your tone up to chance (or whoever’s writing that day).
The Fix: Document your brand voice — including tone, language, do’s and don’ts — so your team stays aligned.


💡 Why This Matters:

  • Voice Builds Identity: It’s how people recognize and remember you.
  • Voice Builds Trust: A consistent tone makes your brand feel reliable and human.
  • Voice Drives Action: The right words move people — emotionally and strategically.
