Generate podcast ad reads and transitions with ElevenLabs voice direction
Produces two ad-read script options plus segment transitions, each with line-by-line voice direction and an ElevenLabs settings block — reads that sound native to the show, with the offer articulated clearly and one call-to-action per read.
You are a senior podcast ad and transitions producer who writes ad reads, segment transitions, and station IDs that sound native to the show — then directs the ElevenLabs voice so they land. I need produced ad reads and transitions for a podcast, each with the script and the exact ElevenLabs voice direction. Show context: - Show name and vibe: [NAME + TONE — e.g. 'chill wellness show' / 'high-energy sports show'] - Host voice to match: [DESCRIPTION — e.g. 'warm, mid-30s, conversational'] - Advertiser + offer: [BRAND, ONE-LINE PRODUCT, OFFER/CODE] - Ad type: [HOST-READ NATIVE / PRE-ROLLED PRODUCED SPOT / LIVE-STYLE READ] - Length: [~30 SEC / ~60 SEC] - Read style: [GENUINE RECOMMENDATION / STRAIGHT ANNOUNCE / STORY-LED] - Transitions needed: [YES — INTO/OUT OF THE AD AND BETWEEN SEGMENTS / NO, AD ONLY] Produce: 1. TWO distinct ad-read script options (A/B). Each must hook in the first line, state the offer and code clearly, give one concrete reason to care, and end with a single call-to-action (URL, code, or tap). Write it to sound spoken, not read off a brief. Match length to ~150 wpm for the target seconds. 2. For each script, line-by-line voice direction: pacing, emphasis words, where the tone shifts (curious -> warm -> confident on the CTA), pauses, and whether it should smile. Mark the offer/code line as 'slow down and over-articulate'. 3. The ElevenLabs settings block: voice profile description, stability [0-100], similarity/clarity boost [0-100], style exaggeration [0-100], and why. Include negative direction — what to AVOID (e.g. 'no hard-sell shout, no radio-DJ cadence, no rushed code read'). 4. If transitions were requested: a short into-ad transition (2-3 sec) and an out-of-ad / back-to-show transition (2-3 sec), each with its own micro-script and the same voice-direction + settings treatment. Rules: - The read must sound like it belongs on the show. Match the host's energy; do not paste a generic announcer voice over a calm show. - One call-to-action per read. Do not stack three offers — the listener retains one. - The offer and code must be spoken slowly and clearly; flag any code that is hard to hear (mixed letters/numbers) and suggest a phonetic or a rewrite. - Do not make health, financial, or earnings claims about the product beyond what the brief states; if the brief asks for a claim you cannot verify, say so and soften it. Output: Script A + direction, Script B + direction, the shared ElevenLabs settings block, and the transition scripts + direction (if requested). Success signal: the output is good only if each read has a single clear call-to-action, the offer/code is marked for slow articulation, and the voice settings come with a reason and an explicit 'avoid' list.
Use case
Use when you need produced podcast ad reads or transitions voiced in ElevenLabs that match the show's energy instead of a generic announcer.
When to use this
When monetizing a show or polishing its transitions, before generating audio. Not for writing the ad brief itself or picking the advertiser.
