# Intro music for your podcast

> Make intro and outro music for your podcast: short, with a clear ending, and a quiet bed to talk over. Describe your show and change it by asking.

Describe your show, like "a friendly tech podcast" or "a true crime show". Shawarma makes a short intro for it, with an ending that lands where your voice comes in.

Need a quieter version to talk over, or a longer one for the outro? Ask, and only that part changes.

Friendly intro

110 BPM, claps, keys and a last chord

1. **The intro** drums, keys, bass, hook
2. **The last chord** end

## Two more for your show

- A bed to talk over: 88 BPM, soft keys, out of the way: [Make it yours](https://shawarma.studio/open?example=made-podcast-bed)
- News opener: 120 BPM, strings, trumpet and a pulse: [Make it yours](https://shawarma.studio/open?example=made-podcast-news)

## Then ask for *changes*

Once your song plays, type what it needs. It changes while it plays, and you keep only what you like.

- You make it 10 seconds long
- You a quieter version to talk over
- You end on a big last chord
- You make an outro from the same tune
- You more serious, for a news show

## Made for your show

- Short, with an ending: An intro that ends on a last chord, not a fade that goes on under your first words.
- Never in the way: Instrumentals only. Ask for a quieter bed to talk over, with fewer notes.
- Yours to use: You own what you make and can use it in your videos and games. Some built-in sounds ask for a credit; the list is on the Terms page.
