I will produce a branded podcast intro, outro and transition music sting set
About this gig
A custom-produced podcast intro, outro, and transition sting set built around your show's name and voice — cohesive, broadcast-ready audio that makes every episode sound like a real brand.
Your podcast deserves a sonic identity that listeners recognize in the first three seconds. I produce a fully branded audio package — a polished intro, a matching outro, and a small set of transition stings — all written, performed, mixed, and mastered to sound consistent across every episode you publish.
What you get
- A branded intro sized to your spec (typically 8–30 seconds) with an original music bed and, if you choose, your tagline or show name woven into the structure.
- A matching outro that shares the same musical DNA as the intro, designed to land your call-to-action (subscribe, review, links in the description) and resolve cleanly.
- A set of transition stings / bumpers — short 1–4 second hits used to move between segments, mark ad breaks, or separate interview chapters. Count depends on your tier.
- Original, royalty-free music composed or arranged specifically for your show. You own full usage rights for podcast distribution; no monthly licensing, no copyright strikes, no surprise takedowns.
- Clean, mastered files delivered at podcast-standard loudness (around -16 LUFS for stereo) so your intro doesn't blast louder than your spoken voice.
- Multiple formats — high-quality WAV plus MP3, and on request stems (music-only, voice-only) so your editor can re-balance later.
- A short usage guide noting loudness targets, file naming, and where each element belongs in your edit.
Optional add-ons (on the higher tiers or by request): a recorded voiceover announcer line, alternate short-cut versions of the intro for social clips, and a theme variation for special episodes or seasons.

How it works
- Brief & references. You tell me your show name, genre, target mood (e.g. energetic tech, calm storytelling, gritty true-crime), and share two or three reference tracks or podcasts whose vibe you like. A rough target length for each element helps me scope the arrangement.
- Direction lock. I confirm tempo, instrumentation, energy curve, and whether you want voiceover, your own voice, or instrumental-only. We agree on deliverable counts and lengths before any production begins, so there are no surprises.
- First production pass. I compose and arrange the music, build the intro and outro structure, design the transition stings, and produce a first mixed version for your review.
- Revision rounds. You send timestamped notes — "tighten the drop," "warmer pads," "cut two seconds off the tail." I revise within the rounds included in your tier.
- Mix & master. Once the creative is approved, I finalize the mix, balance music against any voice, and master each element to consistent podcast loudness.
- Delivery. You receive organized, clearly named files in your chosen formats, plus the usage guide. Stems are included on Premium.
Why choose this
This is purpose-built podcast audio, not a stock track with your name slapped on the front. Every element shares the same key, tempo feel, and instrumentation, so your intro, outro, and stings sound like one family — the thing that makes a show feel professionally produced. I mix and master to spoken-word podcast standards, which means the music supports your voice rather than fighting it, and your loudness stays consistent whether someone listens on AirPods on a train or a car stereo. Because the music is original and licensed to you for podcast use, you never have to worry about content-ID claims or losing your back catalog's audio if a license expires. And because scope, lengths, and counts are locked before production starts, you know exactly what you're getting.
Who it's for / use cases
- New podcasters launching a show who want to sound established from episode one.
- Existing podcasts rebranding — new name, new season, new sponsor format, or simply a tired old intro.
- Interview and panel shows that need clean transition stings to move between guests and segments.
- Narrative and true-crime shows wanting mood-setting stings and a memorable cold-open theme.
- Business and solo-creator podcasts that want a recognizable signature without hiring a full studio.
- Networks standardizing a consistent audio identity across several shows.
FAQ
Q: Do I own the music, or do I owe ongoing royalties? You receive a commercial license for podcast use with no recurring fees. The music is produced for your show, so there are no third-party royalties and no risk of copyright claims on platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.
Q: Can you match a specific style or a podcast I love? Yes. Share reference tracks or shows and I'll capture the mood, energy, and instrumentation — not by copying anything, but by producing original music that lives in the same world.
Q: Do you include a voiceover announcer? A custom voiceover line is included on Premium and available as an option on Standard. If you'd rather record your own voice, send me the audio and I'll fit it into the music structure.
Q: How long are the intro and outro? That's up to you. Most intros land between 8 and 30 seconds and most outros between 10 and 40, but I'll build to whatever length your format needs — just tell me in the brief.
Q: What file formats will I get? High-quality WAV and MP3 for every element, mastered to podcast loudness. Premium also includes stems so your editor can adjust the music-to-voice balance later.
Q: What if I need changes after the first version? Each tier includes revision rounds (1 to 3). Send timestamped notes and I'll refine the arrangement, length, mix, or energy within those rounds. Additional rounds can be arranged if needed.
Q: Can you produce extra stings or alternate versions later? Absolutely. Once your sonic identity is built, I can add seasonal themes, special-episode variants, ad-break bumpers, or social cut-downs that stay perfectly on-brand.
Q: How should I send my brief to get the best result? The more specific, the better: show name, genre, desired mood in a few adjectives, two or three references, rough lengths, and whether you want voiceover. That lets me hit the target on the first pass and use your revisions for polish rather than direction.

The intro and outro he made sound super polished and the little transition stings tie the whole show together perfectly. Couldn't be happier with how on-brand everything turned out.
