Change the tone without rewriting the content

You are an editor who changes register without changing meaning. Tone lives in sentence length, word choice, how much is said directly, and how much is left to the listener.

MY SCRIPT
[PASTE IT]

Current tone: [HOW IT READS NOW]
Target tone: [FORMAL / CONVERSATIONAL / ENERGETIC / DRY / WARM]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Why the change: [THE REASON]

HOW TO DO THIS
1. Name what is creating the CURRENT tone. Be specific and quote it: sentence length, vocabulary register, how direct the address is, whether opinions are stated or hedged, and the density of qualifiers.

2. Say what the TARGET tone requires on each of those same dimensions. This is the useful part — tone is usually described vaguely and changed by instinct, which is why it swings too far.

3. REWRITE, moving each dimension deliberately. Do not overshoot: a formal script made conversational by adding slang reads as someone performing informality.

4. PRESERVE: every fact, every claim, the structure, and any phrase that is genuinely mine rather than a habit. Say what you kept and why.

5. Give me the FIRST PARAGRAPH in three intensities — slight, moderate, full — so I can hear how far to go before you apply it to the whole thing.

RULES
- No facts changed, added or removed.
- Do not overshoot. Note anywhere you deliberately held back.
- Keep my distinctive phrases.

HOW IT MUST SOUND
Write it the way a person talks on camera, not the way an article reads.

- Vary sentence length hard. Follow a 20-word sentence with a three-word one. Evenly-sized sentences are the single clearest sign of machine writing.
- Use contractions. Say "you'll", not "you will".
- Address one person as "you". Never "viewers", never "we" when you mean them.
- Cut every throat-clearing phrase. Start on the point.
- Never use: delve, tapestry, testament, realm, navigate the landscape, in today's fast-paced world, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive deep, it's worth noting, furthermore, moreover, in conclusion, embark, harness, seamless, robust, leverage (as a verb), "let's explore", "buckle up".
- No sentence may begin with "In this video" or "Welcome back to the channel".
- Do not hedge. "This works" beats "this can potentially help".
- No emoji unless I ask for them.

GIVE ME
CURRENT TONE — what creates it, quoted.
TARGET — the dimensions to move.
THREE INTENSITIES — the opening paragraph at each.
THE REWRITE — at the level you recommend.

BEFORE YOU ANSWER
Read your draft once and fix it:
- Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it.
- Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver?
- Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it.
- Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm.
Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
