To make a podcast intro with AI, write a tight script, generate a warm narration voice, add a music bed, and mix them with clean fades on the Compose timeline. An intro is a few seconds of spoken lines over music that name the show and set the tone, with the voice and the music produced together in one place.

Make your podcast intro step by step
1.
Write a short, tight script
Start with the words, and keep them brief: name the show, set the tone, and get out, usually a line or two. An intro is not the place for a long pitch, since listeners want the episode, so write for a few seconds of speech and cut every word that is not pulling weight. If you will use the same intro every episode, tighten it further, because regulars will hear it every single time and brevity is a kindness.
2.
Generate the narration voice
Generate the voiceover from your script and direct it so it sounds warm and confident rather than flat, since the voice sets the show's personality. Set the emotion and pacing, and choose a voice that fits the tone of the podcast. The natural voice guide covers making the read sound human. A well-directed few seconds of narration is the heart of the intro, so it is worth a couple of passes.
3.
Add a music bed
Give the intro a music bed that matches the show's mood, energetic for a lively podcast, mellow for a thoughtful one. Bring a licensed track or generate an original one in Morphic sized to the intro's length, which the AI song guide covers. The music carries the tone under the words, so pick something that supports the voice rather than competing with it for attention.
4.
Mix and time with fades
Bring the voice and music onto the Compose timeline and mix them: keep the music low under the spoken lines so every word stays clear, and let it breathe in the gaps. Use a clean fade in at the start and a fade out into the episode so nothing starts or stops abruptly. This tidy mix, voice on top, music supporting, smooth fades, is most of what separates a produced intro from an assembled one.
5.
Review and export
Listen to the intro on its own and then into the start of an episode, checking that the voice is clear over the music and the fades feel smooth. Trim any dead air so it gets to the point fast. When it sounds produced, export it and reuse it across episodes. A clean, full-quality export comes with a paid plan if you need it for a published show.
AI intro versus hiring it out
A produced intro used to mean a voice actor and a composer. Here is what changes.
| AI intro (Morphic) | Outsourced | |
|---|---|---|
| Voice | Generated and directed | A voice actor to book |
| Music | Generated or licensed | A composer or a licence |
| Revisions | Regenerate instantly | New session or fee |
| Time | One session | Days of back-and-forth |
Directing the voice well is the key skill, covered in how to make an AI voice sound more natural, and generating the music bed is covered in how to make an AI song.
Put it together
A podcast intro is a tight script, a warm directed voice, and a supporting music bed, mixed with clean fades. Keep the words to a few seconds, direct the narration so it has personality, sit the music under the voice, and fade smoothly in and out. Do that and you have a polished, reusable intro that names the show and gets to the episode fast, made without a booth or a composer. Make it once and use it on every episode, and if you want a matching outro or a mid-roll bumper, the same voice and music approach produces those too, so the whole show sounds consistent from the first second to the last without booking a studio each time.
