A DJ intro is a 5- to 15-second voiced opener that names the show or the DJ over music, played at the top of a radio show, a set or a stream. JingleLark makes it as a radio-style voiceover, text to speech built for radio: you type the line, pick one of 24 AI voices, and it mixes the voice with an intro sound, a music bed and an outro from a library of 88 sounds. You download the finished intro as MP3 or WAV.
DJ intro or DJ drop?
A drop is a one- to three-second name tag that you play over a mix, usually without a music bed. An intro is longer, has a bed under the voice and opens a show or a set. For short name tags, use the DJ drop maker.
Audio DJ intro or video intro?
JingleLark makes audio intros: a voice and music in an MP3 or WAV file. If you need a video intro for YouTube or a visualizer, put the audio file into any video editor and add your pictures there.
What do AI DJ intros sound like?
Five intros made in JingleLark with the same settings the studio uses. The first three are one radio show at three lengths; the last two are a club set opener and a live-stream mix intro. The show and DJ names are made up for these examples.
Script: “Copperline Sessions, with DJ Wrenfield.”
Voice: Johnny Dynamite (Radio & DJ)
Sounds: Chrome Intro, Midnight Cruise bed, Tail Whoosh outro
Characters: 39 · Length: 5.6 seconds
Measured: -17.5 LUFS, peak -3.3 dBFS
Just the show and the presenter. Short enough to play between records or after a news break.
Script: “You're listening to Copperline Sessions with DJ Wrenfield. Two hours of soul and deep house, every Friday night.”
Voice: Johnny Dynamite (Radio & DJ)
Sounds: Chrome Intro, Midnight Cruise bed, Tail Whoosh outro
Characters: 112 · Length: 10.4 seconds
Measured: -18.1 LUFS, peak -1.7 dBFS
Adds what the show plays and when it is on. This is the length most shows open with.
Script: “This is Copperline Sessions with DJ Wrenfield. Two hours of soul, disco and deep house, live every Friday from nine. Send your requests in now, and let's get this started.”
Voice: Johnny Dynamite (Radio & DJ)
Sounds: Chrome Intro, Midnight Cruise bed, Tail Whoosh outro
Characters: 171 · Length: 13.6 seconds
Measured: -17.7 LUFS, peak -1.5 dBFS
The full opener with the time slot and a call for requests. Use it once at the top of the show, not every hour.
Script: “Ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over. Make some noise for DJ Maraveil!”
Voice: Rex Thunder (Hype & Announcer)
Sounds: Tension Sweep intro, Heavy 808 bed, Big Slam outro
Characters: 72 · Length: 11.0 seconds
Measured: -18.2 LUFS, peak -3.8 dBFS
A sweep builds up, the deep voice brings the DJ on and the slam lands where the first track drops in.
Script: “Welcome to Ashgrove After Dark with DJ Tamsin Vale. Grab a drink and settle in. The mix starts now.”
Voice: Liam (Social & Creator)
Sounds: Reverse Sweep intro, Dust & Vinyl bed, Echo Out outro
Characters: 99 · Length: 9.4 seconds
Measured: -18.0 LUFS, peak -1.6 dBFS
A relaxed, close-up read over a lo-fi bed for a weekend mix stream. The echo leaves room to fade into the first track.
Made on 18 October 2026. Length and loudness are measured on the downloaded MP3 with ffprobe and the EBU R128 loudness filter. The mixer levels every file to the same loudness target, so your intros sit at a similar level to each other.
How long should a DJ intro be?
There is no length setting: the script decides how long the intro runs. The studio estimates about 13 characters per second while you type. Here is the same show intro at three lengths, measured.
| Version | Characters | Studio estimate (voice) | Voice, measured | Finished intro |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 39 | about 3 s | 3.4 s | 5.6 s |
| Standard | 112 | about 9 s | 8.2 s | 10.4 s |
| Long | 171 | about 13 s | 11.1 s | 13.6 s |
The intro sound, the bed tail and the outro added about 2 to 2.5 seconds to each voice. Longer lines read a little faster than the estimate: the 171-character voice was estimated at about 13 seconds and measured 11.1. To hit a slot exactly, add or cut a few words and generate again.
A practical split: a 5-second version for between records, a 10-second version for the top of each hour, and a longer one for the first minute of the show.
What goes into a good show intro?
Most radio show and DJ intros follow the same order. JingleLark builds the music side for you; the words are yours.
- A sound to open on: a riser, a sweep or a short stab, so listeners hear something is starting.
- The show name first, said the same way every time.
- The presenter or DJ name, right after the show name.
- One line about what the show plays or when it is on. Skip it in the short version.
- The bed carries on under the voice and an outro sound closes it, ready for your first track.
Use the same voice for every version of your intro, and for your other show tags, so the show sounds like one show.
How to make a DJ intro online
- Click the Show Tag template in the studio above, or start with an empty script.
- Write your show name and DJ name, then a line about the show. Watch the length estimate as you type.
- Pick a voice and generate it: 1 credit for up to 220 characters, usually back within seconds.
- Choose an intro, a background bed and an outro, then click Build. JingleLark lowers the bed under the voice and levels the loudness. Rebuild with other sounds as often as you like for free, and compare the versions side by side.
- Download MP3 or WAV and load it into your playout software, your streaming setup or DJ software that plays MP3 or WAV files, such as Serato, rekordbox or Traktor.
DJ intro script lines to copy
Swap in your own names. The studio reminds you before generating if square-bracket placeholders are still in the script.
- “You're listening to [Show name] with [DJ name].”
- “[Show name], every [day] from [time], with [DJ name].”
- “This is [Show name] with [DJ name]. Your requests, your music, all night long.”
- “Make some noise for [DJ name]!”
- “Welcome to [Show name]. [DJ name] is on the decks. The mix starts now.”
- “Back to the music on [Show name], with [DJ name].”
For more lines, including station IDs and sweepers, see the radio jingle script templates.
Which voice suits your intro?
- Radio & DJ group, such as Johnny Dynamite (vintage radio DJ) or Nathan (modern station host): for radio show intros.
- Hype & Announcer group, such as Rex Thunder or Brock: for club set openers and big-room intros.
- Social & Creator group, such as Liam: for relaxed live-stream and mix-show intros.
You can also clone your own voice from 8 to 30 seconds of speech and use it for your intro, so the show opens in the presenter's own voice.

What does a DJ intro cost?
Every intro on this page is under 220 characters, so each one is 1 credit. The three lengths of one show intro are 3 credits, about $0.89 on the Starter pack ($14.90 for 50 credits), and all five intros above are 5 credits, about $1.49. Choosing sounds, rebuilding and downloading cost nothing, and purchased credits never expire.
Can I play it on air, in a club or on a stream?
Yes. Intros you download from JingleLark are royalty-free for radio, podcasts, social media and paid ads, with no per-play fees and nothing to renew. You get MP3 and WAV; the WAV is converted in your browser from the same mix, for software that prefers WAV, and is not a separate higher-quality master.

DJ intro maker FAQ
What is a DJ intro?
A DJ intro is a short voiced opener, usually 5 to 15 seconds, that names the show or the DJ over music. It plays at the start of a radio show, a club set or a stream, and it is longer than a DJ drop because a music bed runs under the voice.
Is there an AI tool that can make a radio-style voiceover for a DJ intro?
Yes. JingleLark reads your intro in one of 24 AI voices grouped by on-air role, then mixes it with an intro sound, a music bed and an outro, so you download a finished intro rather than a bare voice track.
Can I put music under my DJ intro?
Yes. Pick a background bed from the 88-sound library and JingleLark lowers it under the voice automatically and levels the loudness. You cannot upload your own music track, and the library sounds are only used inside your mix.
How long should a radio show intro be?
Most are 5 to 15 seconds. In our test, a 39-character line made a 5.6-second intro, 112 characters made 10.4 seconds and 171 characters made 13.6 seconds, sounds included. The script decides the length, up to 900 characters (about 70 seconds).
Can I use the intro commercially?
Yes. Downloads are royalty-free for radio, podcasts, social media and paid ads, with no per-play fees and no expiry. That covers the intro itself, not any music you play after it.
What file formats do I get?
MP3 and WAV. Download both as many times as you like; downloads use no credits. The WAV is converted in your browser from the same mix as the MP3.
Is JingleLark free?
You can start free. A new account gets 1 credit, enough for one intro of up to 220 characters, and each 7-day check-in streak adds 1 more (check-in credits expire after 30 days). Voices and sounds play before you sign up, and mixing and downloads are free with no watermark. The voice is what uses credits, because AI voice generation costs real money; for more intros, one-time packs start at $14.90 for 50 credits, with no subscription.
Can I use my own voice for my intro?
Yes. Record or upload 8 to 30 seconds of clear speech, confirm you have the right to use that voice, and pick it like any other voice; you can keep up to 5. Creating the clone is free and each intro costs the usual credits. A cloned voice cannot change speed, and you cannot upload a finished voiceover or use a voice changer.
