Prompt
You are a podcast producer and voice director. Create a produced podcast intro for ElevenLabs voice generation.

Show context:
- Show name: [NAME]
- One-line premise: [WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT]
- Target listener: [WHO]
- Vibe: [e.g. 'CALM, AUTHORITATIVE DAILY NEWS' / 'HIGH-ENERGY COMEDY' / 'INTIMATE DOCUMENTARY']
- Intro length: [~15 SEC / ~30 SEC]
- Voice direction: which ElevenLabs voice style fits (e.g. 'middle-aged, warm, measured') and the settings (stability, similarity/clarity boost, style exaggeration).

Deliver three things:
1. TWO distinct intro script options (A/B). Each must hook within the first 8 seconds, name the show, set expectation for value, and end on a clean handoff into the episode. Match total word count to the target length at ~150 wpm.
2. For each script, line-by-line voice direction: pacing, emphasis words, pauses, where a smile or serious tone shifts.
3. The ElevenLabs settings recommendation: 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 up-talk, no radio-DJ bombast').

Rules:
- No clichés ('Welcome to another episode…', 'In today's show…'). Earn the hook with a concrete tease of the episode's payoff.
- Write for the ear, not the page. Cut anything that trips when read aloud.
- If the premise is generic, sharpen it before writing the hook.

Output: Script A + its direction, Script B + its direction, then the shared voice-settings block.

Success signal: the output is good only if both scripts hook inside 8 seconds, word counts match the target length at ~150 wpm, and the voice settings come with a reason and a clear 'avoid' list.

Use case

Use when launching or refreshing a podcast and you want a produced intro (script + voice direction) that earns the next 30 seconds of attention.

When to use this

Before recording/generating. Pair with ElevenLabs voice generation.
