How to Generate AI Dialogue With Better Turn-by-Turn Control

Generate AI dialogue by building the conversation turn by turn, keeping each character on the same voice, and adding delivery directions only where the spoken line needs extra control. This workflow shows how to separate script emotion from vocal delivery and test difficult lines without rebuilding the full scene.

How to Create an AI Podcast Intro Without Mixing Everything at Once

Create an AI podcast intro by generating the voice, music, and transition as separate assets, evaluating each one independently, and mixing them together only after they work on their own. This modular workflow makes it easier to replace, reuse, and refine individual parts without rebuilding the entire intro.

How to Clone a Voice With AI

A podcaster or course creator clones their own voice from a 30-second sample, then generates new narration without re-recording. On Astorie's canvas, drop a clean reference clip into an audio node, route it into ElevenLabs Voice Cloning, Fish Audio S2-Pro voice cloning, or Minimax Voice Design, and chain the cloned voice into downstream script-to-speech, dubbing, or lip-sync nodes. Use this for founder-voice training narration, course modules, or localizing existing video. Only clone voices you own or have permission to use. Pick a model below to walk through the cloning workflow.

How to Create an AI Podcast Intro

A podcast host commissions a 12-second branded intro — voice tag plus 6-second music bed plus whoosh transition — entirely on the canvas without hiring an audio producer. On Astorie, drop a script into an ElevenLabs Eleven v3 voice node, generate a matching theme via Suno V5 or Minimax Music, then chain Sound Effects v2 for transitions and route everything into the audio mixer. Output is a weekly show intro and outro with TTS host name, theme music in the right genre, and SFX transitions. Pick a model below to walk through the show-bumper workflow.

How to Generate AI Dialogue

An animation team scripts a 4-character scene — natural turn-taking, distinct voices, emotion tags — without booking voice actors. On Astorie's canvas, set up a script node with speaker turns, route it through ElevenLabs Eleven v3 Dialogue (the dedicated multi-speaker endpoint), Fish Audio S2-Pro multi-speaker, or Minimax Speech, and use inline tags like [whispers], [laughs], [excited] for emotional delivery. Output is dialogue ready for a multi-character animated short, audio drama, or interactive prototype. Pick a model below to walk through the multi-speaker production flow.

How to Create AI Sound Effects for Video

A video editor lays whoosh, impact, ambience, and UI sounds over an AI-generated cut so it stops sounding like a silent draft. On Astorie's canvas, route the locked picture into Hunyuan Foley for video-to-audio Foley, or feed concrete prompts into ElevenLabs Sound Effects v2 ("close metallic door slam in narrow concrete hallway, short reverb"). Stack a Minimax Music atmospheric bed underneath, then mix everything into the timeline before NLE export. Pick a model below to walk through the final sonic pass on a 30-60 second product or narrative video.
