Guide - AI Host Voices - Radio Manager

What is "AI Host Voices" for?

This page lets you define who speaks on your station when the AI takes the floor: which voice, which reading style, which background music. You create a profile for each use case, and the platform reuses it automatically from then on.

You can find it in the "Tools" > "Host Voices" menu. Its displayed title is "AI Host Voices", with the subtitle "Configure the voices of your virtual hosts".

Good to know: Creating, editing, or deleting a profile uses no AI credits. Credits are only deducted when a production is actually generated.

Prerequisites

A radio station is required. Profiles are saved to a station on your account: if no station is linked, the page closes immediately and redirects you to the dashboard.
An active subscription is also required, or, failing that, at least one installed station.

The page does not offer a station selector: it works with your primary station.

The three use cases

The page is organised into three sections, always displayed, even when empty:

"Dedications" — "Voice for reading listener dedications".
"Top 10 / Chart" — "Voice of the weekly chart host".
"Voice Tracks" — "Voice for voice tracks and productions".

Each empty section displays a dashed frame with the message "No profile for..." and an "Add" button. Otherwise, it displays your profiles as cards.

Good to know: The third use case is called "Voice Tracks". If an older document referred to a "General" use case, it is the same slot, but that label is no longer displayed.

Example

Radio Soleil is just starting out and creates two profiles, not three, to cover all three use cases.

"Dedications" — profile Animateur dédicaces, warm female voice. It is used for dedications and for the Top 10.
"Voice Tracks" — profile Voix antenne, neutral male voice, for voice tracks and productions.

A third profile under "Top 10 / Chart" would be saved and displayed, but would have no effect when the chart is generated.

Why: two profiles are enough to cover all three sections, and prevent you from thinking a voice is configured when it will never actually be used. The details are explained just below.

Important: which profile is used for the Top 10?

This is the point that generates the most support requests, so let's be straightforward about it.

Currently, the voice actually used by the "Weekly Top 10" (menu "Tools" > "Weekly Top 10") is the one set in the "Dedications" profile. The same voice serves both purposes.

A profile created in the "Top 10 / Chart" section is saved and displayed on this page, but it does not replace the voice used when the chart is generated.

In practice, to have the Top 10 speak with the voice of your choice:

Create a profile with the "Used for" field set to "Dedications".
Select the desired voice, intonation, and background music, then save.
Then check the "Weekly Top 10" page: the default voice offered should now be the one you just defined.

Tip: If your Top 10 keeps using a voice you did not choose, do not look at the "Top 10 / Chart" profile: it is the "Dedications" profile that needs to be created or corrected. You can also set this voice directly from the "Tools" > "Dedications" page.

Example

Radio Soleil wants an energetic male voice for its Saturday chart. Here is exactly what it enters.

"New profile"→ "Used for" = Dedications→ Energetic male voice→ "Save profile"→ Check on "Weekly Top 10"

"Profile name": Animateur dédicaces.
"On-air name": DJ Alex.
"Used for": "Dedications" — definitely not "Top 10 / Chart".

The green banner "Profile saved!" confirms the save. On the "Weekly Top 10" page, the default voice offered is now DJ Alex's.

Why: the chart reads the voice linked to dedications. Creating the profile in the "Top 10 / Chart" section gives the impression the job is done, while the chart will continue speaking with a different voice.

Creating a profile

Click "New profile" in the top right, or the "Add" button in the relevant section — in that case, the use case is already pre-filled. If no profile exists yet, the page displays "No voice profile configured" and a "Create my first host" button.

A panel opens on the right with the following fields:

"Profile name" — required. This is your internal reference, for example "Dedications host".
"On-air name" — optional. This is the name used when the host introduces themselves, for example "DJ Alex" or "Lisa".
"Used for" — the list of three use cases.
"Voice" — required.
"Intonation" — optional, "Standard" by default.
"Background music" — optional, "No background music" by default.

Finish with "Save profile". A green banner "Profile saved!" confirms the save.

Good to know: If the profile name or voice is missing, the save is rejected with the message "Profile name and voice are required."

Example

Radio Soleil\'s second profile, the one for voice tracks, field by field.

"Profile name": Voix antenne.
"On-air name": left blank.
"Used for": "Voice Tracks".
"Voice": a neutral male voice.
"Intonation": "Standard".
"Background music": "No background music".

Why: a voice track is inserted between two songs. An on-air name and background music would turn every transition into a mini-segment, whereas listeners simply expect a smooth handover.

The selection panels

The last three fields are not drop-down lists: each one opens a dedicated side panel.

"Choose a voice" — "Select the voice for your production". A large panel with "All", "Men", "Women" filters and a search bar. Each voice is presented with a photo and a preview to listen to.
"Choose an intonation" — "Define the reading style". The "Standard" option heads the list, followed by the available intonations, each playable.
"Choose background music" — a toggle between "Library" (the provided tracks, sorted by category) and "My tracks" (your own music), with a search bar and the "No background music" option.

Once you have made your selection, the panel closes and you return to the profile form, with the button label updated accordingly.

Tip: Listen to the previews before confirming: changing a voice afterwards costs nothing, but redoing all your productions to achieve a consistent sound does.

Example

Radio Soleil sets up its "Dedications" profile across three successive panels.

Voice: "Men" filter→ Intonation: other than "Standard"→ Background: "Library" → "Dynamic"

Three voices are previewed before making a final choice. The background music panel switches to "My tracks" if the station\'s own jingles are preferred over the library.

Why: this profile serves dedications and the Top 10. The chosen voice must work equally well on a listener message and on a chart announcement: listen to several previews before locking in your station\'s sound.

Viewing and editing your profiles

Each profile is displayed as a card, with a colour bar corresponding to its use case. The card shows:

The profile name, and below it the on-air name as a label, if one was entered.
The selected voice, with its photo.
The intonation, if one was chosen.
The mention "Background music configured", if a background track has been associated.

The three-dot button in the top right of each card opens a small menu with two entries: "Edit", which reopens the pre-filled panel, and "Delete", which asks for confirmation "Delete this profile?" before removing the profile.

Good to know: Nothing prevents you from creating multiple profiles for the same use case — for example a male voice and a female voice for dedications. The last "Dedications" profile saved is the one that sets the voice used for dedications and for the Top 10.

Example

Radio Soleil has two "Dedications" profiles, DJ Alex and Lisa, and wants to switch back to Lisa\'s voice for the summer.

"Lisa" card→ Three-dot button→ "Edit"→ "Save profile"

There is nothing to change in the form: simply re-saving the "Lisa" profile makes it the most recently saved "Dedications" profile, and therefore the voice used for both dedications and the Top 10.

Why: there is no need to delete "DJ Alex". It remains available for the autumn, and switching back and forth between two voices costs no credits.
