Start with the show’s promise
For a recurring show, a short introduction is easier to live with every week. Say the name, explain the promise and hand over to the host. Write the episode-specific line separately so the fixed introduction can stay unchanged.
The patterns below are drafting ideas, not target durations the tool guarantees. Generate and measure the actual take.
SHORT INTRO From a third-floor balcony, this is Back Porch Botany. Growing real food in small spaces, with Dana Reyes. WEEKLY INTERVIEW What changes when a small idea becomes a business? Every Friday, Maya talks with the people finding out. This is First Customers. EPISODE MENU Back Porch Botany, episode twelve: the balcony herb garden. Today: choosing pots, finding the light, and keeping basil alive. Here is Dana.
Choose the announcer
If the narrator resembles a real person, do not imply that person appeared on or endorsed the show. A voice-library listing does not clear the rights for every intended use.
- Existing voice: browse Voices, choose a style and generate the introduction in Text to Speech.
Make the spoken track first
The voice sets the length of the opening. Start with the default settings and listen before adjusting anything. In Text to Speech, try a supported feeling such as [confident] for a clear announcement or [relaxed] for a quieter show.
Use Speed to adjust the pace and Volume to adjust the output level. If the show name sounds wrong, try a phonetic spelling in the spoken script while keeping its real spelling in the episode information.
Check the displayed credit cost before Generate. Download the approved take and keep it; regenerating the same text can produce a different performance.

Finish in your podcast editor
Bring the downloaded voiceover into your existing editor. MorningAgent does not generate the music bed, sound sting or cover art for this workflow and does not host or publish podcast episodes.
- Trim unnecessary silence without clipping the first or last word.
- Place your separately sourced, permitted music under the voice if the show uses it.
- Keep every spoken word understandable on a small speaker.
- Fade into the host’s first line without a sudden jump in level.
- Listen to the intro as part of the complete episode.
- Check the final episode against your host’s current audio requirements.
Reuse the good take
For a fixed intro, use the approved audio file each week. Generate only the changing episode title or menu, then listen for a smooth join. Keep voice and settings notes so any replacement stays close.

Give listeners a simple next step
If an AI-made voice is part of the show, describe that clearly where appropriate and review the publishing platform’s current disclosure requirements. A short explanation does not replace checking the rules for your specific use.
