Hosts & Voices
Build AI hosts with custom voices, cloned voices, and multilingual support.
Overview
Hosts are the AI personas that write and narrate your podcast episodes. Each host has a name, backstory, and a voice, and that combination shapes how your episodes sound and feel. A well-crafted host makes your podcast distinctive and consistent across every episode.
Hosts are shared across your workspace. Create a host once and use them in any podcast or episode.
Default Hosts
Every new workspace comes with two pre-built hosts so you can start creating episodes immediately. Jellypod chooses a female and male host based on your region and browser language when matching featured hosts are available. Otherwise, it creates the English pair:
- Oliver Hart: A measured British host with an authoritative, documentary-style delivery and a dry wit, good at separating the signal from the noise.
- Claire Brooks: A sharp American host with firm editorial delivery who keeps the pace moving and makes complicated stories feel approachable.
The two hosts are assigned to your first podcast by default. You can edit their backstories, swap their voices, or archive them and create your own hosts at any time.
What's in This Section
This section covers creating and managing hosts, finding the right voice from the Voice Library, cloning a real voice from audio samples, and using Magic Voice Design to generate a voice from a host's backstory. It also covers importing ElevenLabs Professional Voice Clones, generating episodes in 70+ languages, and setting custom pronunciations for names and technical terms.
