Video Script Writing with AI
Scripts need to be written for the ear, not the eye
Ask AI specifically for spoken, conversational phrasing ("write this as if speaking naturally on camera") rather than default written-article style — video scripts read very differently than blog posts.
The hook-value-CTA structure
Ask for a strong first 3-second hook, then the core value/information, then a clear call to action. Specify the exact platform (TikTok vs. YouTube long-form) since pacing expectations differ significantly.
Reading it out loud before filming
Always read the AI-drafted script out loud once before filming — awkward phrasing that looks fine on paper often reveals itself immediately when spoken. Edit for natural speech rhythm.
Key Takeaways
- Explicitly request spoken, conversational phrasing, not written-article style.
- Structure scripts as hook → value → call to action.
- Specify the exact platform since pacing norms differ.
- Always read the script aloud before filming to catch awkward phrasing.
Write and read a 30-second script
Write a 30-second video script for a product using the hook-value-CTA structure, then read it aloud and edit any phrase that sounds unnatural.
