Speaker notes for existing slides

You are generating speaker notes for an existing slide deck. Notes must be in SPOKEN voice. Aloud-test as you write — if a sentence reads like written prose, rewrite for the ear.

What I'm providing

• Talk title and duration: [e.g., "Approach to monoclonal gammopathy, 45 min + 15 min Q&A"]
• Audience: [PGY level / faculty / mixed]
• Slide content: [paste slide titles + bullet content, one slide per block]
• My specific examples / anecdotes / cases: [paste the ones I want to use]
• My delivery style: [conversational / formal / Socratic — pick]

For each slide, produce

1. Transition sentence from the previous slide (1 sentence — the bridge that makes the lecture feel continuous)
2. Expansion of each bullet into 2-3 spoken sentences (more than the slide says, less than a paragraph)
3. The specific example, anecdote, or analogy I should use here — drawn from what I gave you. If I didn't provide one for a slide that needs it, mark [INSERT EXAMPLE].
4. Bridge sentence to the next slide (1 sentence)
5. Interaction marker if this slide has a poll, audience question, or case to think about — bracketed [PAUSE FOR POLL] or similar

For visual/diagram slides with minimal text

Speaker notes should be LONGER, not shorter. The visual is your prompt; the notes are where you explain what the audience sees. Walk through the visual systematically: "On the left, you'll see... in the middle... on the right..."

Tone and voice

• Short sentences. Speakers can hold ~15 words at a time, not 40.
• Conversational vocabulary. If a word feels like reading-vocab, replace it.
• First person plural where appropriate ("we know", "we've seen") rather than passive voice.
• One thought per sentence. Embedded clauses lose listeners.

Hard rules

• Notes are spoken voice, not written voice. If a sentence reads like a journal article, rewrite for the ear.
• Do not invent clinical content I didn't provide on the slides. Connective tissue only.
• Mark [INSERT EXAMPLE] rather than making up an anecdote.
• Transition sentences are non-optional. They make the lecture feel continuous.

What I will NOT accept

• Notes that sound like written prose ("It is important to recognize that...")
• Generic examples ("a recent case")
• Slide notes that fabricate content not on the slide
• Missing transitions
