Which tools does this builder target?

It writes a music prompt for Suno or Udio to generate the jingle bed, and a voice-direction prompt for ElevenLabs to narrate the spoken hook. The timing plan then tells you how to layer them in any audio editor.

How long should a podcast intro be?

Most successful intros run 5 to 15 seconds. Shorter openers (5 to 8 seconds) keep listeners from skipping; longer ones suit narrative or branded shows. The builder scales the timing plan to whatever duration you set.

Do I need a DAW to assemble it?

A simple editor like Audacity, Descript, or GarageBand is enough. You import the AI jingle as a music bed, drop the AI voiceover on top, and duck the music under the voice using the timing plan as a guide.

Can I reuse the intro every episode?

Yes. A consistent intro builds brand recognition. Generate it once, save the stems, and only swap the spoken episode-specific line if you include one. The music bed and outro can stay fixed across the series.

AI Podcast Intro & Jingle Builder

AI podcast intro and jingle builder

A polished podcast opener is two ingredients layered together: a short music jingle and a spoken hook. AI tools make both fast — Suno or Udio for the music bed, ElevenLabs for the voiceover — but the hard part is getting them to match in tone and fit a tight timing window. This builder writes both prompts and a timing plan from one set of inputs so the pieces line up.

How it works

You choose a genre, a tone, a duration, and a host voice style. The tool produces three outputs: a music prompt describing an instrumental bed of the right length and energy, a voice-direction prompt telling ElevenLabs how to deliver the hook, and a second-by-second timing plan that splits your duration into a music intro, the spoken line, and a closing swell. You generate each asset in its tool, then layer them in any editor following the plan.

Tips for a sharper opener

Keep it under 15 seconds. Listeners decide fast; a long intro is the most common reason people skip to the content.
Duck the music under the voice. Drop the jingle 6 to 10 dB while the host line plays, then bring it back up for the swell — the timing plan marks where.
Match energy to genre. A true-crime show wants tension and minor tones; a business show wants clean, confident, mid-tempo beds.
Save your stems. Keep the music and voice as separate files so you can re-mix or shorten the intro later without regenerating everything.
