Podcast cold open
Result: A 12-second cold open with natural pauses and warmth — drag onto the timeline in front of your music bed and you have an episode opening.
Type a script. Pick a voice. Get studio-quality narration in seconds. Skrrol's voice generator runs ElevenLabs and OpenAI TTS, with cloning and a real editor for timing.
Skrrol AI's voice generator turns text into spoken audio that's hard to tell from a human read. The voice library is powered by ElevenLabs (the studio behind some of the most expressive synthetic voices on the market) and OpenAI TTS, both available behind one panel. Pick the voice, paste the script, hit generate, and the audio drops into your project library ready to drag onto the timeline.
The basic flow is text-to-speech — type or paste a script, choose a voice from the library, and Skrrol generates a clean voiceover. For something more bespoke, voice cloning lets you supply a short reference clip of a voice you have rights to (your own voice, a creator on your team, a licensed talent), and the model synthesises new lines in that voice. This is the modern way teams produce branded podcast intros, ad reads, and audiobook narration without booking a studio every time.
The outputs aren't disposable text-to-speech. ElevenLabs voices in particular handle emotional range, pacing, breath, and emphasis well enough that they're being used in commercial podcasts, audiobooks, and high-budget brand work. OpenAI TTS gives you a different palette — clean, neutral, fast — and is often the right pick for explainers, IVR, and high-volume narration.
Everything you generate lands inside the Skrrol editor: timeline, EQ, noise reduction, ducking, multi-track mixing. You can pair AI narration with AI music and AI video on the same timeline and ship a finished piece without ever leaving the browser. Pricing is the standard Skrrol VL-credits model; voice generations are far cheaper than video and a little more than image, so a single Standard plan covers a steady stream of voiceover work.
A note on ethical use: voice cloning requires consent. Skrrol's terms restrict cloning to voices you own or have explicit permission to use. Don't clone a public figure or a third party without consent — it isn't legal in most jurisdictions and it isn't allowed on Skrrol.
Use ElevenLabs for expressive, emotional reads and OpenAI TTS for clean, fast, neutral narration. Switch per project or per line.
Upload a short reference of a voice you have rights to and synthesise new lines in that voice. Ideal for brand consistency across a series.
ElevenLabs supports dozens of languages with the same voice — write your script once, generate localised reads from a single cloned voice.
Adjust speed, stability, and similarity to dial in the read. Re-generate single lines without re-doing the whole script.
Outputs land on the timeline as audio clips with EQ, noise reduction, ducking under music, and waveform scrubbing available immediately.
Scripts, generated audio, and cloned voice references live in your local project — no third-party content cloud.
Result: A 12-second cold open with natural pauses and warmth — drag onto the timeline in front of your music bed and you have an episode opening.
Result: Clean, even narration that sits cleanly under screen-recording footage — ideal for SaaS demo videos and onboarding flows.
Result: A new ad read in your CMO's voice, generated from a single reference — useful when shooting a new VO every campaign isn't realistic.
Result: Three localised reads in the same voice profile, ready to swap into regional cuts of an ad campaign.
Sign in, click Generate, and pick the Voice tab. Choose Text-to-Speech or Voice Cloning.
Browse ElevenLabs and OpenAI TTS libraries side-by-side. Each voice has a sample preview so you can audition before generating.
Up to several thousand characters per generation. Use punctuation aggressively — commas, em-dashes, and ellipses control pacing.
Adjust speed and (for ElevenLabs) stability and similarity sliders. Re-generate single lines without re-doing the whole take.
Open the editor, drag the generated clip onto an audio track, and align it with your video. Use ducking to slide music underneath.
Render the project to MP4, or export the audio alone as MP3/WAV for podcasts and audiobooks.
Skrrol AI uses VL credits across all generators — image, video, voice, and music. The same credit pool applies; heavier modalities (video) use more credits per generation than lighter ones (image, voice). Choose a plan and use credits across any generator.
Trial credits to try a handful of voices and short scripts. Watermarked or length-capped on the free tier.
8000 VL credits — covers podcast intros, short-form narration, and social voiceovers throughout the month.
17000 VL credits — long-form narration, audiobook chapters, and multi-voice dialogue scenes.
35000 VL credits — studio volume for full audiobooks, multi-episode podcasts, and dubbed video libraries.
ElevenLabs voices are good enough that they're already shipping in commercial podcasts, audiobooks, and ads. OpenAI TTS is cleaner and more neutral. Both are far past the robotic TTS people remember from a few years ago.
Only voices you own or have explicit permission to use. Skrrol's terms prohibit cloning public figures or third parties without consent. This is both a legal requirement in most jurisdictions and a Skrrol policy.
ElevenLabs covers dozens of languages with consistent voice identity across them. OpenAI TTS supports the major commercial languages well. Specifics depend on the voice.
Yes. Paid Skrrol plans are designed for commercial creator and small-business use. The underlying model providers' terms still apply — Skrrol surfaces those in its Terms.
Voice generation is priced by characters/minutes of audio depending on the model. A typical 60-second ad read costs a small fraction of a Standard plan's monthly credits.
Yes. Drop it on the editor's audio track. Apply EQ, noise reduction, compression, ducking under music, fades, and trims. If a single line is wrong, re-generate just that line and replace the clip.
Every generation opens directly in the Skrrol editor. These features are particularly useful as the next step after a ai voice generator — skrrol ai run.
