Video Script Colloquialisation
Make video scripts more suitable for actual recording: strengthen the spoken feel, remove formal written language and AI-sounding tone.
When to Use
- After a script draft is complete
- When the user says "proofread the script" or "too formal/written"
- When the script needs to sound more conversational
Core Objective
- Remove formal written language — fully colloquialise
- Suitable for reading aloud (no stumbling)
- Sounds like Huashu speaking to camera
Three-Pass Review (Video-Specific)
Pass 1: Content Review
- Facts accurate, demonstrations feasible
- Logic clear, steps coherent
- Length appropriate (150–180 words per minute)
Pass 2: Colloquialisation Review (Core Pass)
Remove formal language:
- ❌ "Next, we will proceed to..." → ✅ "Let's..."
- ❌ "Perform the operation" → ✅ "Click"
- ❌ "Implement the functionality" → ✅ "Get it done"
- ❌ "In summary" → ✅ Just summarise directly
Add conversational words:
- ✅ "Actually", "Look here", "Right here", "So then"
- ✅ "Honestly", "Earlier I...", "This is the key part"
Make it sayable:
- Short sentences (no more than 20 words)
- Use full stops to break sentences, not commas to join long ones
- Read it aloud — rewrite anything that causes you to stumble
Pass 3: Recording Annotations
- Mark where to cut to screen, where to do close-ups
- Check pacing and pauses
- Simulate the actual recording flow
Colloquialisation Rewriting Examples
❌ Formal:
Next, we will proceed with the Claude Code installation. First, open the terminal, then enter the corresponding command...
✅ Colloquial:
Right, let's get Claude Code installed. Simple — open your terminal, type this command... (cut to screen) See? Just like that.
