Script Editing Guide

The biggest quality gain usually comes from script editing, not from changing voices.

What to cut first

If a slide sounds heavy, remove:

• repeated context from the previous slide
• filler phrases
• double explanations of the same chart
• vague summary sentences

What to add carefully

Add only what improves comprehension:

• one transition sentence
• one explanation of why the slide matters
• one clear next step

A simple editing pattern

For each slide, try this sequence:

1. What is the one thing this slide must communicate?
2. What is the shortest spoken explanation that still lands?
3. Is the first sentence understandable without reading the slide?

If the answer to the third question is no, rewrite the opening line.

Good narration sounds like this

• direct
• short
• contextual
• sequential

Bad narration usually sounds like pasted slide copy.

When to regenerate instead of manually rewriting

Use AI rewrite when:

• the tone is wrong across several sentences
• you want shorter or more conversational phrasing
• the content is structurally correct but clunky

Manual editing is better when:

• a fact is wrong
• terminology must match the team vocabulary
• the CTA must be exact
