Content Creation Prompts
Script Writing Prompts
Script writing is where structure matters most. A strong script doesn't just tell you what to say — it controls pacing, builds to a payoff, and sounds natural when spoken aloud. These prompts help creators, presenters, and brand teams produce scripts that actually work when recorded or delivered.
Who these prompts are for
YouTube creators, podcasters, brand video producers, corporate trainers, keynote speakers, and anyone who needs to write spoken content that sounds natural and achieves a specific goal.
Ready-to-use prompts
YouTube video script
Write a script for a [duration]-minute YouTube video titled '[title]' for [audience]. Include: (a) hook — first 30 seconds to prevent drop-off, specific and surprising, (b) brief intro that delivers on the title's promise immediately, (c) main content sections with natural transitions, (d) one call to action (subscribe or next video). Write for spoken delivery — short sentences, active voice, natural rhythm.
Brand video script
Write a 60–90 second brand video script for [brand/product]. Tone: [describe]. Target viewer: [describe]. The script should: open with the problem or aspiration (not the company name), introduce the solution naturally, show 2–3 specific benefits through example, close with one clear CTA. Include visual direction notes in brackets.
Explainer video script
Write a 90-second explainer video script for [product or service]. Structure: (a) open with the problem the viewer has right now, (b) introduce the solution in one sentence, (c) show how it works in 3 simple steps, (d) state the outcome they can expect, (e) CTA. Conversational, simple, no jargon.
Podcast episode opening
Write 3 different 60-second podcast episode opening hooks for an episode about [topic]. Each uses a different approach: (a) a bold claim, (b) a specific story or scenario, (c) a counter-intuitive question. The goal: prevent the listener from skipping in the first 30 seconds.
Presentation speaker notes
Write speaker notes for a 10-minute presentation on [topic] for [audience]. Each slide (I have [X] slides) should have: 2–4 sentences to speak, a transition line to the next slide, and a note on what to emphasize. Keep the language conversational — it will be spoken, not read.
Training video script
Create a script for a [duration] training video on [topic] for [employee type]. Include: learning objective upfront, 3–4 key concepts with a real example for each, a knowledge check question mid-way, and a practical takeaway at the end. Tone: clear and direct, not corporate.
Script writing principles
Write for the ear, not the eye. A script that reads well on screen often sounds unnatural when spoken. The test: read every AI-generated script aloud before recording. Edit any sentence that causes you to stumble, sounds stiff, or doesn't match how you actually talk.
Common mistakes
- No hook. The first 30 seconds of any video or episode determine retention. Always spend extra effort on the opening — it matters more than anything else.
- Too much information per section. Scripts fail when they try to cover too much. One clear point per section is more memorable than five compressed into the same time.
