AI Prompts for ElevenLabs Prompts for Podcasters: Voice, Scripts, and Audio Content

Write a full podcast episode script from this outline: [PASTE YOUR OUTLINE OR BULLET POINTS]. The episode is approximately [TARGET LENGTH: 20 / 30 / 45 MINUTES]. My podcast is called [NAME] and covers [TOPIC]. My audience is [DESCRIBE]. For audio delivery through ElevenLabs or my own voice, the script should: use short, declarative sentences that land clearly when spoken aloud, avoid parenthetical clauses that create ambiguous pauses when read by an AI voice, include explicit transition phrases between sections ("Let me now turn to..." "Here is the key insight..."), vary sentence length to create natural rhythm, and include [HOST NOTES] for any moments where I would naturally pause, emphasize, or shift tone. Write the full script with a strong cold open, a clear episode arc, and a memorable closing.

Write a 60-90 second podcast cold open for an episode about [TOPIC]. The cold open runs before the intro music and theme. A strong podcast cold open: drops the listener into a specific moment, story, or provocative statement without preamble, makes a clear promise of what they will get from this episode, and creates enough curiosity that they stay through the intro music to hear the rest. My podcast tone is [DESCRIBE: CONVERSATIONAL, INVESTIGATIVE, EDUCATIONAL, INTERVIEW-BASED]. Write three versions of the cold open using different approaches: (1) story opening, (2) provocative claim, (3) listener-direct question. I will choose the strongest for each episode.

Write a podcast episode script for [EPISODE TOPIC] that is specifically optimized for ElevenLabs AI voice generation. When ElevenLabs reads a script, it performs best with: sentences under 25 words (longer sentences lose natural rhythm), punctuation as pacing cues (commas and periods tell ElevenLabs where to breathe), explicit emphasis using ALL CAPS for stressed words rather than relying on the AI to infer emphasis, and paragraph breaks as natural pause markers between thoughts. Write the script for a [LENGTH]-minute episode following these conventions, with [HOST STAGE DIRECTIONS] for any changes in tone, pace, or emotion the ElevenLabs voice should reflect.

Write a solo podcast episode script for a [20-30 MINUTE] knowledge-share episode on the topic: [YOUR TOPIC]. I am the sole host and I am speaking directly to [DESCRIBE AUDIENCE]. The format is a structured monologue, not an interview. The episode should: open with a clear statement of what the listener will know by the end, divide the content into 3-4 sections with explicit signposting ("The first thing I want to cover is..."), use a concrete story or example to illustrate each main point, include moments of listener acknowledgment ("You might be thinking..."), and close with a practical takeaway the listener can apply today, not just a summary. Write the full script with speaker delivery notes.

I am recording a podcast interview with [GUEST NAME], who is [DESCRIBE THEIR EXPERTISE AND BACKGROUND]. The topic of the episode is [DESCRIBE]. My audience is [DESCRIBE]. Write: (1) a pre-interview research brief with the 5 most interesting angles or questions that would make this interview stand out from standard interviews with this guest, (2) an opening script that introduces the guest in a warm, specific way that is not just reading their bio, (3) 12-15 interview questions organized from warm-up to deep and specific, with follow-up questions for each that I can use if the guest gives a short answer, (4) a closing script that wraps the episode and directs listeners to find the guest. Include notes on which questions are most likely to produce the best audio moments.

Write a podcast intro and outro for [PODCAST NAME]. The podcast covers [TOPIC] for [TARGET AUDIENCE]. The intro should: be 30-45 seconds maximum (listeners skip long intros), open with the podcast name and a one-sentence positioning statement, include a brief tease of this episode's content, and transition into the episode. The outro should: be 45-60 seconds, summarize the key takeaway from the episode in one sentence, include calls to action in order of priority (subscribe, review, follow on social, visit website), and feel like a warm send-off rather than a list of asks. Write both for ElevenLabs voice generation using appropriate pacing markers.

Write podcast ad reads for [SPONSOR NAME] in three different formats for use with ElevenLabs voice generation or my own voice: (1) Pre-roll (60 seconds max): runs before the episode content, needs to hook quickly since listeners have not yet committed to the episode, (2) Mid-roll (90 seconds max): runs mid-episode when listener attention is highest, can be more detailed and storytelling-focused, (3) Post-roll (45 seconds max): runs after the main content, listeners who stayed are more loyal, can use a softer, more community-focused tone. The sponsor's product is [DESCRIBE]. The main benefit for my audience is [DESCRIBE]. Include a promo code: [CODE] if applicable. Write all three ad reads.

Write a 90-120 second podcast trailer for [PODCAST NAME] that will be released to announce the podcast before launch or at the start of a new season. The trailer should: hook listeners in the first 10 seconds with the most compelling thing about the show, communicate who the podcast is for and what they will get, build credibility (host expertise, notable guests, unique angle), create anticipation for upcoming episodes, and end with a clear subscribe CTA. This trailer will be produced using ElevenLabs voice generation and distributed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and social media. Write it with ElevenLabs pacing conventions: short sentences, explicit emphasis markers, paragraph breaks as pauses.

I want to create 3 promotional audio clips from this podcast episode: [DESCRIBE THE EPISODE AND ITS KEY MOMENTS]. Each clip should be 30-60 seconds and work as a standalone social media audio snippet or audiogram. For each clip, write: the clip content (either a direct excerpt or a new teaser written around the episode's key insight), an intro line to add before the clip that provides context for listeners who have not heard the episode, the caption for the social media post, and the platform it is optimized for (one for Instagram, one for X/Twitter, one for LinkedIn). Use ElevenLabs to generate the intro narration so the clip transitions smoothly from AI narration to my voice or the episode audio.

I publish a written newsletter alongside each podcast episode. Write a companion newsletter for this episode: [DESCRIBE EPISODE TOPIC AND KEY POINTS]. The newsletter should: be written for reading, not listening, since it complements rather than transcribes the episode, summarize the 3 key insights from the episode in expanded written form with additional context and examples that go beyond what I covered on air, include at least one resource or recommendation that did not make it into the episode, link to the episode with a specific teaser of a moment that is worth listening to even for readers who think they got the gist from the newsletter, and end with a question or prompt that drives replies from subscribers. Length: 400-600 words.

I record one podcast episode per week and want to repurpose each episode into maximum content without spending proportionally more time. My episode is approximately [LENGTH] and covers [TOPIC AREA]. Design a repurposing system that produces from each episode: the episode itself on podcast platforms, a newsletter companion (format and template), 3-5 social media posts across [PLATFORMS I USE], an audiogram or short video clip for social, a blog post or SEO article from the transcript, and any other format relevant to my audience. For each repurposed format, specify: the production process, how long it should take, and what percentage of the work can be AI-assisted vs requires my input. The system should run in under 3 hours of my time per week including the episode itself.

Write a blog post based on this podcast episode: [PASTE TRANSCRIPT OR EPISODE SUMMARY]. The blog post is NOT a transcription. It is an original piece of written content that covers the same topic but is written for a reader, not a listener. The post should: be structured with headers and sections (readers navigate, listeners do not), use the episode's key insights as section anchors but expand them with written context, link to the episode embed for readers who want to listen, and be optimized for the keyword [TARGET KEYWORD] since this is the SEO version of the content. Length: 800-1200 words. Include a meta description under 155 characters.

I want to expand my podcast to non-English speaking markets using ElevenLabs voice cloning and translation. My podcast is currently in English and covers [TOPIC]. My target additional languages are [LIST]. Design a multilingual expansion strategy that covers: how to use ElevenLabs voice cloning to maintain my vocal identity in translated episodes, whether to translate and dub full episodes or produce shorter highlights in each language, the production workflow for each additional language (translation, ElevenLabs generation, quality review), the platform distribution strategy for each language market, and the content considerations: are there episode topics that need cultural adaptation rather than direct translation for [TARGET MARKETS]? Write the strategy and produce a sample translated script for [ONE EPISODE SECTION].

I want to use ElevenLabs to create professional demo reels and pitch materials for podcast sponsorship outreach. My podcast is [NAME], covering [TOPIC], with [AUDIENCE SIZE AND DEMOGRAPHICS]. Write: (1) a sponsor pitch email that leads with audience demographics and engagement rather than download numbers, (2) a script for a 90-second demo ad read I will generate with ElevenLabs to show potential sponsors how their ad will sound on my show, (3) a sponsorship deck outline with the sections that matter most to brand partnership decision-makers, and (4) a rate card format that frames my pricing as a media buy rather than a one-off sponsorship. The pitch should position my podcast as a targeted media channel, not a small show asking for support.

I have [NUMBER] podcast episodes on [TOPIC AREA] that cover a cohesive subject area. I want to package them into a paid audio course using ElevenLabs to produce additional narrated transitions, summaries, and module introductions. Design the audio course structure that: organizes the existing episodes into a logical learning sequence with 4-6 modules, identifies what is missing from the episode content that needs new audio segments (context-setting intros, exercise prompts, summaries), writes scripts for the connecting audio segments to generate with ElevenLabs in my cloned voice, and creates a hosting and delivery strategy for the course. Write the module structure and the full scripts for the connecting audio segments between episodes.

Write SEO-optimized episode titles and descriptions for these [3-5] podcast episodes: [DESCRIBE EACH EPISODE TOPIC]. For podcast SEO, the title and description are the primary discoverability signals on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google. For each episode, write: a title that includes the primary keyword a listener would search when looking for this topic (not a clever wordplay title that is unsearchable), a 2-3 sentence description that opens with the keyword, states what the listener will learn, and mentions the guest if applicable, and a list of show notes keywords to include in the episode notes for additional search coverage. Format each as ready to paste into your podcast hosting platform.

I want to book higher-profile guests for my podcast [NAME] which covers [TOPIC]. My current audience size is [DESCRIBE]. My most notable past guests are [LIST]. Write: (1) a tiered guest target list approach: who I should be reaching out to now at my current level, who I should work toward in 6 months, and who I should aim for in 12 months, (2) a cold outreach email template that leads with what the guest gets rather than what I need, (3) a warm outreach approach for guests I have mutual connections with, (4) a strategy for leveraging each guest interview to attract the next level of guest (specific social sharing asks, episode framing that appeals to the next guest tier). Include a sample cold outreach email for a specific guest type: [DESCRIBE].

I want to build a community around my podcast [NAME] that increases listener retention, word-of-mouth growth, and episode engagement. My audience is [DESCRIBE]. My current engagement channels are [DESCRIBE: NONE / EMAIL LIST / SOCIAL MEDIA / DISCORD, ETC.]. Design a listener engagement strategy that: turns passive listeners into active community members through specific touchpoints in each episode, identifies the right community platform for my audience type, creates recurring engagement formats that do not require heavy production (listener questions, episode reactions, topic voting), and builds a word-of-mouth loop where engaged listeners naturally bring in new listeners. Include specific scripts for the in-episode community calls to action that create engagement without feeling transactional.

I am [LAUNCHING / RELAUNCHING] my podcast [NAME] in [TIMEFRAME]. The podcast covers [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. My goal for the first 90 days is [DESCRIBE: LISTENER COUNT, RANKINGS GOAL, SPONSORSHIP READINESS, ETC.]. Write a launch strategy that covers: the pre-launch content bank (how many episodes to have ready before announcing), the launch week content plan across podcast platforms and social media, the specific ask I make to initial listeners to drive reviews and ratings in the critical first weeks, the distribution strategy across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and social media, and the first 90-day milestone markers that tell me whether the launch is on track. Include scripts for the launch announcement and the first episode opening.

Help me build a monetization roadmap for my podcast [NAME]. My current audience is [DESCRIBE SIZE AND ENGAGEMENT]. My podcast covers [TOPIC]. The standard podcast monetization options are sponsorships, listener support (Patreon/membership), premium content, live events, and adjacent products (courses, books, consulting). For my specific audience size and niche, evaluate which monetization channels are realistic now vs in 6 months vs in 12 months, what I need to build (audience size, engagement depth, email list) before each channel becomes viable, the specific steps to launch the most immediately viable channel, and how to introduce monetization to my audience without damaging the listener relationship. Write a 12-month monetization timeline with specific milestones.
