A station ID (or station ident) is the short voiced element that tells listeners what they are tuned to: your station name, often with a slogan, over an intro and a bed. JingleLark is a radio station ID maker for internet, community, hospital and student stations and DJs. It reads your script in one of 24 AI voices and mixes it with sounds from a library of 88 intros, beds and outros, so you download a finished ID instead of a bare voiceover.
Station ID examples by format: voice and bed pairings
Five finished station IDs, one per format, each made in JingleLark with the same settings you get in the maker. Each one pairs a voice with an intro, a bed and an outro from the sound library. The station names are made up. Use them as starting points, then swap the voice or the bed for your own sound — remixing is free.

How do I make a station ID?
Making a station ID in JingleLark takes five steps, all in the browser. Only generating the voice uses credits.
- Type your station name and a short slogan, or pick the Radio ID template and fill in your name.
- Pick one of the 24 AI voices and set the pace from 0.7× to 1.2×.
- Generate the voiceover: 1 credit for up to 220 characters.
- Choose an intro, a music bed and an outro. JingleLark ducks the bed under the voice and levels the loudness for you. Remixing is free.
- Download the finished station ID as MP3 or WAV and load it into your playout software.
What should a station ID say?
Keep it to one idea. Most good station IDs use two or three of these parts, not all of them:
- Your station name, said clearly, ideally in the first two seconds.
- Where to find you: a frequency, a city or "online at" your stream.
- A short slogan that says what you play or who you serve.
- A cue phrase such as "You're listening to…" or "This is…" that marks the break.
Station ID script templates
- “You're listening to [station name].”
- “[Station name] — [slogan].”
- “This is [station name], [frequency or city]. [Slogan].”
- “[Station name], streaming worldwide at [web address].”
US stations with an FCC license also have to air a legal ID: the call letters followed by the community of license, at sign-on, at sign-off and hourly, as close to the top of the hour as feasible at a natural break (47 CFR §73.1201). An internet-only station has no FCC license and so no legal ID rule, but an hourly ID is still the easiest way for new listeners to learn your name. You can make a legal ID in JingleLark the same way; just put the call letters and city in the script.

For more lines to start from, grouped by what they do on air, see 40 radio jingle script templates.
Should a station ID be 5, 10 or 15 seconds?
JingleLark voices read at about 13 characters per second, so a script of roughly 65 characters gives about five seconds of voice, 130 characters about ten and 195 about fifteen, before the intro and outro are added. All three lengths fit in a single credit (up to 220 characters).
Use 5-second idents between songs, 10-second IDs at the top of the hour or out of the news, and save 15 seconds for IDs that carry a slogan and a web address. Every sample on this page is between 5.6 and 7 seconds long, mix included.
Can I add music and sound effects to my station ID?
Yes. JingleLark mixes the voice with an intro, a background bed and an outro chosen from 88 sounds made for station imaging, including rock, synthwave, lo-fi, news, impact and seasonal packs. The bed is ducked under the voice with sidechain compression and the finished file is loudness-normalized, so you do not need separate editing software such as Audacity. The sounds come mixed into your station ID; they are not sold or downloaded on their own.
Which voice fits my format?
Start from the samples above: a commanding hype voice for rock, a vintage DJ for oldies, a modern host for hits and dance, a British presenter for community and student radio, and a warm narrator for hospital radio. JingleLark has 24 voices in 6 on-air roles, and you can add your own voice by cloning it from an 8 to 30 second sample.
Can I use a JingleLark station ID on air?
Yes. Every station ID you download from JingleLark is royalty-free for broadcast, streaming, podcasts, social media and paid ads. There are no per-play fees, and the license does not expire, so the file stays usable for as long as your station airs it.
What file formats do I get?
MP3 and WAV, both free to download as many times as you like. The WAV is converted in your browser from the same mix as the MP3, for playout software that prefers WAV files; it is not a separate higher-quality master.

How much does a station ID cost?
JingleLark charges for the voice, not the mix. A station ID script of up to 220 characters costs 1 credit; 221 to 900 characters costs 2 credits. Mixing, remixing, previews and downloads are free, and a failed generation refunds its credit automatically.
Credits come in one-time packs with no subscription, and they never expire: Starter is $14.9 for 50 credits, Standard $39 for 200 and Pro $99 for 600. That is about $0.17 to $0.30 per station ID. There is no separate nonprofit discount; a new account gets one free credit to try it.
Should you hire a voice artist instead?
A custom imaging package from a full-service imaging company costs about £27–£33 per voiced element, and custom packages take anywhere from a day to 21 business days. On JingleLark a station ID costs about $0.17 to $0.30 and is mixed and ready the same day. If your station competes with commercial stations on sound, needs a sung jingle, or wants one signature voice for years, a hired voice is still the stronger choice.

Frequently asked questions
Can I try the station ID maker before buying credits?
Yes. A new JingleLark account gets one credit, enough for one short station ID with as many remixes and downloads as you like. After that, station IDs come from one-time credit packs starting at $14.9 for 50.
Do I need an app or software to make a station ID?
No. JingleLark is an online station ID maker that runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to install. You make the ID on the page, download it as MP3 or WAV, and load it into the playout or automation software your station already uses.
Can JingleLark make a sonic logo or audio logo for my station?
It makes voiced audio logos: your station name read over an intro stinger, a bed and an outro. It does not compose a new melody, and it does not make sung jingles. If you need a singer, a jingle house is the right call.
Can I use my own voice or a presenter's voice?
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. Creating the clone is free; each station ID costs the same credits as with any of the 24 AI voices. You cannot upload a finished voiceover or use a voice changer.
Does an internet radio station need a station ID?
There is no FCC legal ID rule for internet-only stations, but most still run an ID every hour and between songs so new listeners learn the name. The FCC legal ID rule applies to licensed broadcast stations.
Will the file work in my playout software?
Yes. You download a standard MP3 or WAV that you can import into playout and automation software like any other jingle or ID.
Can I make station IDs in Spanish, Portuguese, German, French or Dutch?
Yes. Type your station ID in the language you broadcast in: when JingleLark recognises the language of the script, it has the voice read it in that language, with no setting to choose. The voice engine covers about 30 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, German, French and Dutch. In our own tests it read station names and full lines correctly in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Polish and Danish. The JingleLark interface itself is in English.
Can I make a whole set of IDs in one voice?
Yes. Pick one voice and one bed, then generate each line in turn. Every ID is its own credit, and remixing any of them with a different intro or outro is free.
