How to Create a Professional Podcast Studio Using AI

/ How To / By

Imagine building a professional podcast studio with AI, attracting big-name guests, creating polished episodes, and spending nothing. Yes, that’s possible, and in this article, I’ll walk you through an easy step-by-step process to make it happen. Whether you’re an AI enthusiast or a beginner, these tools will enable you to create high-quality, engaging podcasts from scratch. By the end, you’ll be equipped to launch your own AI-driven podcast that captivates audiences with smooth production and top-tier content.

Step 1: Setting Up the Topic and Script

The first step in creating your AI-powered podcast is picking a compelling topic. Choose a subject that aligns with your audience’s interests—like trending social issues, self-improvement, or AI itself! For instance, today’s podcast focuses on a Forbes article by Bernard Marr, where we explore “15 Biggest Risks of Artificial Intelligence.” It’s a deep dive that encourages critical thinking on AI, covering important areas like trust, transparency, and ethical concerns.

To get started, search for articles or write your own script. Many creators find using web articles the easiest approach. Just copy the article URL (like Bernard Marr’s) and proceed to convert it into a podcast.

Podcast Studio Image Prompt: 

Create an ultra-realistic 4K image of a modern podcast studio setting featuring a man and a woman with natural, human-like details. Both are seated at a professional podcast table with high-quality microphones, looking directly at the camera with focused, relaxed expressions. The studio has a sophisticated design with acoustic panels, plants, and warm, ambient lighting. Ensure both individuals have lifelike facial features and realistic skin textures, wearing high-quality, contemporary clothing. Capture fine details like natural lighting, shadows, and sharp resolution for an inviting, professional atmosphere. The man wears a dark outfit, and the woman a stylish, sophisticated outfit, both with headphones on, in a high-quality studio environment.

Step 2: Converting the Article into a Conversational Script

Tool: Google Notebook LM

  1. Visit Google Notebook LM: Open Google and search for Notebook LM. Click on “Try Notebook LM” to start.
  2. Create Your Document: Once inside, hit the “Create” button. You’ll see multiple options for importing content (text file, audio file, etc.).
  3. Use the Website Option: Since you have the article link, choose the “Website” option. Paste the URL and click “Insert.”
  4. Generate a Conversational Script: Google Notebook LM will summarize the article and suggest questions, but our focus here is on creating a conversational flow. Click on “Generate” to transform the article into a podcast-friendly script.

Step 3: Downloading and Splitting the Audio

Tool: CapCut

  1. Download the Audio: After generating the script, download the converted audio file. You may have both male and female voices in the file.
  2. Separate Audio Tracks: Open CapCut, import the audio file, and add it to the timeline. Zoom in to identify where each voice switches. Use “Ctrl + B” (split button) to separate male and female sections, placing each voice on a different track.
  3. Export Audio Tracks: Export each track individually to ensure clarity. For instance, export the male audio as “Male Audio.mp3,” and repeat for the female track.

Step 4: Enhancing Podcast Visuals with AI-Generated Images

Tools: Midjourney, Microsoft Designer, and CREA AI

  1. Generate Images: Using image-generation tools like Midjourney, Microsoft Designer, or CREA AI, you can create a professional studio setup and avatar photos for your podcast. Simply paste a descriptive prompt in the generator and experiment until you get the best results.
  2. Enhance Images with CREA AI: After generating, you may want to improve the image quality. Upload it to CREA AI and click “Enhance” to make it look sharper and more realistic. Compare before and after images to ensure the quality meets your standards.

Step 5: Creating AI Talking Avatars

Tool: DubDub AI

  1. Set Up in DubDub AI: Create a free DubDub AI account and navigate to the “Studio” section. Here, you’ll see options for AI voiceovers, transcription, image generation, and avatars.
  2. Upload Podcast Image: In the “AI Avatar” section, upload your enhanced studio image. DubDub AI detects each face in the image, allowing you to assign separate audio files for different speakers.
  3. Generate Talking Avatar: Upload the male audio file, select the male avatar, and click “Generate Talking Avatar.” After rendering, download the video. Then repeat the process for the female avatar and audio.

Step 6: Editing the Podcast Video in CapCut

  1. Arrange Clips on the Timeline: Import the generated avatar videos into CapCut and place them on the timeline. Arrange the clips side by side.
  2. Crop and Position: For a smooth split-screen effect, crop each video to show only one side (e.g., male on one half, female on the other). Align them carefully.
  3. Check Audio Sync: Play the timeline to check if both audio tracks are in sync. Trim as necessary to align the voices.
  4. Add Captions: Use CapCut’s auto-caption feature for a professional touch. Choose a suitable template to enhance readability.
  5. Background Music and Effects: For a polished finish, add background music and apply any necessary filters or effects to create a cohesive look.

Step 7: Export and Finalize

Once satisfied with the edit, export the video. You now have a professional-looking podcast episode complete with talking avatars, clear audio, and engaging visuals—all created using free or low-cost AI tools!
