Audio drama maker: your cast, your script

An audio drama is a story told only in sound: voices, music, and effects. Write the script or let AI draft it, cast a voice for every role, and direct each line before any audio is generated.

Change one line and regenerate only that line. When the episode sounds right, publish it as a podcast or turn a scene into a video.

How to make an audio drama with AI

  1. Step 01

    Start from a story or script

    Describe the story or import a finished script. Name a speaker on each line and Jellypod matches it to a character.

  2. Step 02

    Cast and direct

    Create each character with a backstory and voice, then add audio tags where a line needs a whisper, a pause, or a gasp.

  3. Step 03

    Score and publish

    Add music and your own sound effects on the timeline, then publish the episode to your feed or schedule it.

Cast characters who stay in character

Give each character a backstory, a personality, and a voice from 3,300+ across 121 languages, a designed voice, or your own clone. Cast up to four per episode and bring the same cast back every week.

Direct and score every scene

Mark the beat in the script: a whisper, a gasp, a nervous pause. Regenerate one line in the script editor, then score the scene with music, a rain-on-the-window ambience bed, and your own sound effects on the timeline.

Publish a series that continues

Plan a series and each episode is written from the one before it, so the story keeps its threads. Publish to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube from one feed, with a podcast website included. Zero Day, below, was made and published with Jellypod.

FAQ

What is an audio drama?
An audio drama is a story performed entirely in sound: actors voice the characters, and music and sound effects set each scene. It is also called a radio drama, audio play, or fiction podcast. Most modern audio dramas are released as podcast episodes.
Can AI make an audio drama?
Yes. Write or import a script with a named speaker on each line, cast a character for every role, and Jellypod voices each part. Add audio tags for whispers, gasps, and pauses, then lay music and your own sound effects on the timeline.
How many characters can be in one episode?
Up to four speaking characters per episode. Each has its own voice, backstory, and personality, and you can reuse the same cast in every episode of the series. A narrator counts as one of the four.
Can I make a serialized audio drama with continuing episodes?
Yes. Ask for a multi-episode series and each episode is written after the one before it, with that full script in hand, so names, facts, and open plot threads carry forward. You can review and edit a series outline before anything is generated.
Does Jellypod add sound effects?
Jellypod does not generate sound effects. Drag your own recorded or licensed effects onto the timeline, and add music or looping ambience beds (rain, a fireplace, ocean surf) from the stock library. Vocal reactions like gasps and sighs come from audio tags in the script.
Where can I publish and monetize my audio drama?
Publish each episode to your podcast feed and it reaches Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube through RSS, plus a hosted podcast website. You own what you create, and paid plans include full commercial rights, so you can monetize the series without crediting Jellypod.
Is there a free trial?
Eligible plans start with a 7-day free trial. The trial includes 5,000 credits and needs a payment method. It may not be available in every country or to every user. Cancel from your billing settings before it ends and you are not charged; otherwise it converts to a paid plan.
