# Module 50 — Voice & Tone
> **Frameworks:** Brand voice spectrum (formal <-> casual, serious <-> playful,
> distant <-> warm, conventional <-> irreverent) · Content-type tone matrix
>
> **Goal:** Codify the brand's verbal register precisely enough that two different
> writers produce copy that sounds like the same person. Voice is constant;
> tone shifts by context (home page vs. error message vs. proposal cover).

## Raw
<!-- Verbatim quotes and examples from the interview.
Collect actual copy samples the founder likes or hates. -->
### Copy the founder admires (from their own brand or others) — include the source
### Copy the founder dislikes or finds "wrong register" — what specifically is wrong?
### Words or phrases the brand uses all the time (even informally)
### Words or phrases the brand actively avoids
### How should the brand sound on: a sales page? an error message? a proposal?
### "We always…" / "We never…" statements about how the brand communicates
---
