Employee advocacy works best when it feels human.
But too often, even well-intentioned programs fall into the same trap: posts that sound generic, overly polished, or obviously copy-and-pasted.
That’s where Personal Voice AI comes in.
DSMN8’s Personal Voice feature helps employees share approved content in their own words — without the effort of rewriting every caption from scratch.
In this guide, we’ll walk through what Personal Voice AI is, why it matters, and how to configure it for the best results.
Why “Personal Voice” Matters in Employee Advocacy
People don’t connect with overly corporate-sounding posts on LinkedIn.
Especially if they feel like they’re coming from a brand rather than a person.
When multiple employees share the same caption, it’s obvious. Feeds feel repetitive, engagement drops, and employees feel less confident hitting “share”.
With DSMN8, content curators can add multiple captions and images to every upload for employees to choose from. We call this ‘Dynamic Display’.
You can even designate captions to specific teams, groups, and executive influencers. And, of course, employees are encouraged to edit captions and create their own original posts.
Employee advocacy works best when employees share authentically, with real insights and experiences. As the saying goes, people trust people!
But what if we made it even easier for your team to share personalized content, without it taking up half their day? 👀
What Is Personal Voice AI?
Far from your generic ChatGPT captions, this tool is tailored to every employee.
DSMN8’s Personal Voice tool creates captions that sound like them while retaining the key information in the content curated for them.
Trained on writing samples and prompts, it adapts language, tone, and structure of curated content, so LinkedIn posts reflect how your advocates naturally communicate.
That might mean being more conversational, more concise, more authoritative, or more reflective. It all depends on the individual.
Once set up, Personal Voice can be applied in one click when choosing content to share within the platform.
The message stays approved and compliant, but the delivery feels personal.
Key Benefits of DSMN8’s Personal Voice Feature.
We’ve covered some of these already, but just to summarize, here are the key benefits of using Personal Voice within DSMN8:
How to Set Up Personal Voice AI (Step-by-Step Guide).
Getting started with Personal Voice AI is simple, and the process is designed to make it easy for employees to get started:
Step 1: Add Writing Samples
The best way to get accurate, authentic rewrites is to provide writing samples.
These can be LinkedIn posts you’ve shared through DSMN8, personal LinkedIn posts, or text from articles and drafts.
Personal Voice will analyze these samples to understand your natural tone, sentence structure, and style.
Once processed, DSMN8 will generate a Writing Style Summary, showing how your personal voice will shape future posts.
If you prefer not to upload samples, you can skip this step and select a preset tone instead. However, we highly recommend using samples for the most accurate results.
Step 2: Fine-Tune Your Settings
Once your voice is defined, you can customise how Personal Voice behaves.
Adjust the creativity level to control how much the AI rewrites content: from minimal tweaks to highly expressive edits.
Decide whether posts should encourage discussion, invite questions, or remain neutral.
You can also set language preferences, choose whether or not to include emojis, and create custom prompts to guide the AI. For example, you might want to avoid including certain words, clickbaity phrases, or competitor names.
Step 3: Preview and Test Your Voice
Before applying Personal Voice to real posts, you can preview how it rewrites content.
This lets you see your voice in action and make any adjustments before sharing.
Personal Voice for Executives and Delegate Access.
Personal Voice works seamlessly with DSMN8’s delegate access functionality, which is especially valuable for teams supporting executive personal brands.
Delegates can manage posts on behalf of leaders while applying the leader’s own Personal Voice. This ensures consistency in tone and authenticity, even when someone else is handling the logistics.
Leadership visibility improves, without compromising credibility 👏
Best Practices for Getting the Most from Personal Voice in DSMN8.
As with any AI-assisted content, it’s important to proofread before sharing.
For this reason, Personal Voice isn’t applied to posts shared through the Auto Scheduling feature. This allows users to review content before it goes live.
One of the biggest advantages of Personal Voice is flexibility.
You can update or adjust your settings at any time, whether that’s changing your writing samples, tweaking your tone, or fine-tuning engagement preferences.
If a particular caption doesn’t feel quite right, the ‘rewrite’ button allows you to make post-specific adjustments, whether that means altering the tone, shortening or lengthening the text, or shaping it to encourage comments and discussion.
By combining Personal Voice with a quick human check, you can share confidently and consistently, making employee advocacy effortless without losing authenticity.
Final Thoughts & Additional Resources
The future of employee advocacy isn’t about saying more. It’s about saying things better.
Personal Voice helps employees show up as themselves while supporting their company’s message.
It removes the friction that stops people from sharing, without sacrificing control or authenticity.

FAQs
Do I need to upload writing samples to use Personal Voice?
Writing samples are strongly recommended, but not required. Personal Voice can analyse how you naturally write and generate more accurate, authentic rewrites for you. If you’d rather not upload content, you can choose a preset tone instead.
Can Personal Voice be changed after it’s set up?
Yes. Personal Voice isn’t a one-time decision. Users can edit their settings, update writing samples, test different outputs, or delete their Personal Voice entirely at any time.
Will Personal Voice change the meaning of approved content?
No. Personal Voice focuses on how content is written, not what it says. The core message and intent of the content remain unchanged. It simply adapts the tone and delivery to suit the individual sharing it.
How does Personal Voice work with delegate access?
If a delegate is managing an account on someone else’s behalf, they can apply that person’s Personal Voice when sharing content.
This is particularly useful for executive accounts, ensuring posts stay consistent with the leader’s tone and style.
Will Personal Voice make posts sound like AI?
Personal Voice is designed to reduce the “AI-sounding” effect by learning how individuals naturally write and applying that style consistently.
