Stop renting your voice from 11Labs.
Build your own AI podcast studio.
A practical, tool-by-tool course that shows you how to script, voice, edit, and publish a podcast using free and open-source AI tools — running on your own machine, under your own control.
Subscription voice tools work, right up until they don't
Cloud text-to-speech services are convenient, but every one of them comes with the same trade-offs: monthly limits, pricing changes, account holds, and a workflow you don't fully control.
Renting a voice engine
- Monthly character or minute caps
- Pricing and terms can change anytime
- Your project pauses if the account is unavailable
- Limited control over voice cloning quality
Running your own studio
- Open-source models you install once
- No recurring subscription for narration
- Works offline, on your own hardware
- Full control over voice, pacing, and editing
Five builds, start to finish
Each module is a self-contained build. Follow them in order to go from a blank folder to a finished, publishable episode.
Setting up your local studio
Install and configure the free, open-source text-to-speech and audio tools the rest of the course is built on — no paid API keys required.
Scripting for the ear
Turn an outline into a script that sounds natural when read aloud by a synthetic voice, including pacing and pronunciation fixes.
Building a custom voice
Train and fine-tune a voice profile locally, and learn the settings that control tone, speed, and clarity.
Editing and mastering the episode
Clean up narration, add music beds and transitions, and bring the mix up to a publish-ready loudness standard.
Publishing your first episode
Export in the right formats and get your episode onto the podcast platforms of your choice.

Everything you need to build the studio
Before you start
Do I need any prior audio or coding experience?
No. Every step is shown from scratch. Some comfort installing software on your computer is helpful, but not required — each module walks through it.
What kind of computer do I need?
A standard modern laptop or desktop. The course covers both lighter-weight and higher-performance setup options depending on your hardware.
Is this a course about making money from podcasting?
No. This course teaches the technical build only — the tools, workflow, and steps to produce a podcast episode with AI narration. It does not cover monetization, marketing, or audience growth.
How do I access the course after purchase?
