01 / PLAN
Start with the result and the source
Keep the show name, host or organization, topic promise, and any essential disclosure. Episode-specific details can follow after the reusable introduction.
Write for listening rather than silent reading. Short sentences, deliberate punctuation, and a quick pronunciation test usually improve a voiceover more than an extreme speed adjustment.
02 / WORKFLOW
Complete the workflow step by step
- Prepare.
Write a compact intro that names the show and tells a new listener what it consistently delivers.
- Set up.
Test several TTSHub voices with the same show name and difficult proper nouns.
- Create.
Generate a clean voice track and save the exact voice settings for later episodes.
- Review.
Mix the intro with licensed music in PeteCut, lower the bed under speech, and export a reusable master.
03 / QUALITY CHECK
Review the result before the next step
Listen from beginning to end with headphones. Check names, numbers, pauses, volume, and whether the delivery still communicates the intended meaning.
- The show name is pronounced correctly.
- Speech remains clear over music.
- The intro is short enough to reuse.
- Required credits or disclosures are preserved.
04 / QUESTIONS
Common question
How long should a podcast intro be?
Use the shortest version that clearly identifies the show and purpose. Review audience retention rather than treating one duration as universal.
Can I update this workflow later?
Yes. Save the source and project details, then update the relevant settings, content, or output when the destination requirements change.
