Characters & Voices
Build AI characters with custom voices, cloned voices, and multilingual support.
Overview
Characters are the AI personas that write and narrate your podcast episodes as hosts. Each character has a name, backstory, and a voice, and that combination shapes how your episodes sound and feel. A well-crafted character makes your podcast distinctive and consistent across every episode.
Characters are shared across your workspace. Create a character once and use them in any podcast or episode.
Default Characters
Every new workspace comes with two pre-built characters so you can start creating episodes immediately. Jellypod chooses a female and male character in your browser's language when matching featured characters are available, with your region deciding the accent when it agrees with that language. Otherwise, it creates the English pair:
- Oliver Hart: A measured British character with an authoritative, documentary-style delivery and a dry wit, good at separating the signal from the noise.
- Claire Brooks: A sharp American character with firm editorial delivery who keeps the pace moving and makes complicated stories feel approachable.
The two characters are assigned to your first podcast by default. You can edit their backstories, swap their voices, or archive them and create your own characters at any time.
