definition

Voice cloning for podcasts gives a show one signature host voice, generated from a script. With consent, you clone the host’s voice from a short sample and produce episode audio in that voice on the Speechify Build API. The show keeps its identity even across episodes the host did not record live.

a-consistent-identity

A podcast’s voice is its brand. A cloned host voice stays identical episode to episode via one voice ID, so the show sounds like itself whether the host is in the booth or not. That consistency is hard to get from generic catalog voices.

cross-language-editions

A cloned voice speaks across 30+ languages through simba-multilingual, so a show can publish localized editions in the host’s own voice rather than swapping in a different narrator per market. See the podcast generation page.

Cloning the host requires a consent record with their full name and email. It is mandatory on every clone, so the voice is only ever created with authorization.

workflow

Clone once, then synthesize each episode’s script with the returned voice ID on the normal speech endpoints. See the voice cloning API.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I clone a host voice for a podcast?
Yes. With consent, clone a host's voice from a short sample using the Speechify Build API, then generate episode audio from a script in that voice. Every episode uses the same voice ID, so the show keeps one signature host voice, and the clone can speak across 30+ languages for localized editions.
Why clone instead of using a catalog voice?
A cloned host voice is the show's identity. Listeners recognize it, and it stays consistent even when the host cannot record. A catalog voice works for generic narration, but a signature podcast wants its own voice.
Do I need the host's consent?
Yes. Creating the voice requires a consent record with the host's full name and email. You clone a voice you are authorized to clone.
