Quick guidance for adapting the templates.

How should I personalize a reply to a voice note?

Replace every bracketed placeholder, add one specific detail from the conversation, and keep the final message consistent with your normal voice.

Which tone should I choose?

Use a professional or formal tone for work and unfamiliar recipients. Friendly or warm tones are usually better for people you know and less formal situations.
