AI Audio Drama Generator
Turn any chapter into a full-cast audio drama
Paste the text. Characters are detected, voices cast, every line performed with emotion — then adapt it into Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and more with the same cast. Finding the cast is free; previews and renders use credits.
Automatic casting
Dialogue, speech verbs and forms of address decide who says each line; the narrator and the characters are performed separately.
Every line directed
Sneers, sobs, whispers and shouts are acted, not read.
Subtitles and labelling
Every line is timed; export SRT for your editor. Files carry an AI-generated label.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the Audio Drama Studio do?
- It turns a chapter, a story-time script or a play into a full-cast audio drama. Narration and dialogue are separated, each line is attributed to its speaker, every character gets a distinct voice, and lines get an emotion tag where the text calls for one. Your text is never rewritten. Finding the cast is free and you can change any speaker or emotion; with credits you preview the opening, render the chapter by length and export MP3 plus SRT.
- How accurate is the casting?
- Dialogue in quotes with a "she said" nearby is attributed reliably. Long runs of unattributed lines are inferred from forms of address and turn-taking, and may need a line or two corrected by hand. Every piece in the Theater was generated straight from the text, so you can judge for yourself.
- Do I need to label AI-generated audio?
- Many platforms require it, and China has since September 2025. Every file the studio produces carries an embedded AI-generated label and, by default, ends with a spoken notice. You can turn the notice off before rendering, but you remain responsible for labelling wherever you publish.
