AI Podcast Voiceover: The Script-to-Publish Workflow

The expensive part of podcasting isn't gear — it's time: recording, cutting, re-recording. The AI workflow gets a 20-minute episode done in under an hour, and the voice can still be yours.

1. Write for speaking

Conversational, short sentences, one idea per paragraph. Separate paragraphs with blank lines — long-form mode chunks by paragraph and keeps transitions natural. 20 minutes ≈ 3,000 words.

2. Voice: clone yourself

Upload 1–3 clean minutes to clone your voice; every episode after that is you — consistent, no head cold, no flubs. Prefer not to use your real voice? Pick a narrative native voice from the library.

3. Two-person shows: multi-speaker generation

Write the host + guest script, assign a voice per line in multi-speaker dialogue, generate the whole exchange at once; tags like [laughs] and [curious] give it breath. The homepage dialogue sample was made this way.

4. Intro, outro and effects

Generate a 15-second intro — describe style and structure ("warm acoustic guitar, builds then settles"); transition effects on the same page. Commercial licensing covers podcasts.

5. Export: audio + transcript + subtitles

Generation ships with character-level timing; export SRT in a click and publish the script as show notes — good for SEO and accessibility.

What a two-host episode sounds like

Two hosts, two voices, one track:

Transcript:欢迎回来。今天这期我们聊一个很多人不敢聊的话题:做内容三年,还没赚到钱,要不要停。 我先说结论:别停,但要换方法。停掉的不是内容,是你以为「多发就有用」的那套逻辑。

6. Publish

Apple Podcasts and Spotify accept AI-narrated content; disclose "AI-assisted" in the description. One MP3 per episode, chapters by file order.
