Creating voice tracks is often a cumbersome process, and sometimes may include using 3rd party services to do so. Radio.co has come up with a solution, Voice Studio.
Voice Studio allows you to record, mix and manage voice tracks directly within the Radio.co platform, enabling you to create engaging announcements for your station.
You can:
Record Human Voice tracks: Record your own voice tracks, mix them with one music track and multiple voice tracks, and manage them within the Voice Studio.
Use AI Voice tracks: You also have the option to generate and mix AI voice tracks using our pre-selected AI voices.
Who is this available to?
Voice Studio is only available to stations on Standard, Plus and Premium plans. If you're on the Lite plan, you can upgrade in Billing > Change Plan.
Guest DJ and DJ users do not have access to Voice Studio (regardless of station plan).
Getting Started:
In Radio.co, select 'Voice Studio' on the left side menu.
Once on Voice Studio, you will see the above page. Select 'Add Track' to see your options:
