Every other Podnami user picks from the same voice library. Signature Voices lets you describe a voice that does not exist yet — the age, the accent, the pace, the attitude — and we design it for you. It appears in your voice picker and nowhere else.

Why it matters
Voice is the part of a podcast people actually remember. If your co-host sounds like everyone else’s co-host, your show sounds like everyone else’s show.
You are not scrolling a list hoping something fits. You describe the voice you had in mind — a middle-aged woman with a soft Edinburgh accent, unhurried, dry wit — and that is what gets made.
A voice we design for you is private to your account. It is not added to the shared library, and no other Podnami user sees it in their picker.
Every request is read and designed by hand. That is slower than a button, and it is why the results are worth keeping — we audition them before you ever hear them.
How it works
Open Request a Voice from your dashboard. Pick the voice, age, accent, pitch, pace, tone and delivery from menus, choose the language, and give it a name. There is one free-text box if you want to add “like a 1940s radio announcer”.
Your request lands in a queue. We generate candidate voices from your description, listen to them, and publish the one that works. Your request shows Waiting, then Being made, then Ready — you never have to ask where it got to.
Once it is ready it appears in your voice picker in Character Creator and Settings, under the name you chose. Assign it to Kenny or Jamie with Make Co-Host and it is live in your next conversation.
Studio includes two Signature Voices. Remove one from your list and the slot frees up for a new request — useful when a format changes or a co-host gets a rethink.
What you describe
A blank text box is the hardest way to describe a voice, and the easiest way to get something you did not mean. The request form asks for the things that actually change how a voice sounds.
Voice and age band — young adult through older — plus an optional accent, from American and Southern American to Scottish, Irish, Australian and neutral European.
Pitch, pace and tone: slow and unhurried through fast and energetic, warm and friendly through dry and witty, conspiratorial and playful, or smoky and theatrical.
Delivery style — conversational, broadcast, storytelling or documentary narration — and the language the voice should speak.
The voice model only accepts descriptions written in plain English. If you think in Swedish, German or Japanese, a free-text box would quietly reject you. Menus mean you can describe a Swedish voice without having to describe it in English — your choices become the description for you.
Yours alone
The honest bits
Worth knowing before you ask, so nothing here is a surprise.
Requests are designed by hand, in a queue. You will see the status move, and you will get a reason if we decline — but it is not a button that returns a voice in ten seconds.
We design a voice from a description. We do not copy a real person’s voice, and we cannot accept a recording or a request to sound like a named individual.
Studio and Enterprise include two Signature Voices. You can swap either of them whenever you like — remove one, and the slot is free for a new request.
