Made with this app
How it works
Seed Audio 1.0 is a prompt-driven audio generation app that turns written descriptions into expressive speech, multi-character dialogue, and layered sound scenes, all in a single pass. Built on ByteDance Seed Audio 1.0, it supports English and Chinese, accepts an image or up to three reference audio clips to steer voice character, and lets you reuse voices you have already cloned. It suits podcasters, game writers, animators, language creators, and anyone who needs production-ready audio without a recording booth.

What you can make
Multi-Character Dialogue Production
Write a scene with two or more speakers and let Seed Audio 1.0 render each voice with distinct character and emotion. Pair each role with a reference clip to lock in consistent tone across episodes, making it practical for serialized podcasts, audiobooks, or interactive fiction.
Bilingual Narration and Voiceover
Generate narration that switches naturally between English and Chinese within a single prompt. This is useful for bilingual e-learning modules, product demos aimed at cross-border audiences, or documentary-style content that serves speakers of both languages without re-recording sessions.
Ambient Sound Scene Design
Describe a sonic environment, such as a rainy marketplace at dusk or a tense server room humming with failing hardware, and receive a layered scene up to two minutes long. Game developers and film sound designers can use these as reference beds or placeholder tracks early in production.
Image-Steered Voice Casting
Supply a character illustration or portrait and let the model infer vocal quality from the visual. This shortcut helps concept artists and world-builders quickly match a voice to an uncast character before any recording decisions are made.
Cloned-Voice Asset Reuse
If you have already cloned a voice elsewhere in Arteza, reference it directly here to keep brand narrators, fictional protagonists, or personal voice signatures consistent across multiple projects without re-uploading source audio every time.
Prompt ideas to try
- Two old friends, one cautious and one reckless, argue in English over whether to open a locked door at the end of a creaking hallway. Include ambient tension in the background.
- A Mandarin-speaking grandmother reads a short bedtime story to a child, her voice warm and unhurried, with soft rain audible against a window.
- Generate a tense mission briefing between a gruff field commander and a nervous analyst, set against the low hum of a military operations center.
- Produce a layered outdoor sound scene: a dawn forest in early spring, distant birdsong, wind through pine needles, a shallow stream, and no human voices.
- A bilingual tour guide switches between English and Chinese while describing an ancient temple courtyard, tone calm and authoritative, with distant footsteps and wind chimes.
- A lone radio operator sends a distress message in a crackly, tired voice, surrounded by the ambient drone of failing electronics and distant thunder.

Tips for better results
Anchor Voices with Reference Clips
Upload up to three short reference audio clips for a character to narrow the model toward a specific vocal texture, accent, or age. The more consistent your clips are in recording quality and tone, the more reliably Seed Audio 1.0 will match the target voice across multiple generations.
Use Image Steering for Uncast Characters
When you have character art but no reference voice, attach the image as a steering input. The model reads visual cues like apparent age, posture, and expression to inform vocal quality, saving you the step of sourcing or recording a reference clip from scratch.
Be Explicit About Sonic Environment
For sound scenes, describe both foreground and background layers in your prompt. Naming the space, the distance of sound sources, and any ambient textures you want, such as reverb in a cathedral or the flatness of an anechoic room, gives the model clearer parameters to work within the two-minute limit.
Plan Length Within the Two-Minute Cap
Seed Audio 1.0 supports up to two minutes of audio per generation. For dialogue, rough out your script word count before prompting; spoken English averages around 130 words per minute, so a 200-word exchange fits comfortably while leaving room for pauses and ambient detail.
When to choose this app
Choose this app when your project combines voice and environment in one generation, requires multi-character dialogue with steerable vocal identity, or needs bilingual English and Chinese output. Because no sibling apps are listed for this category on Arteza at this time, the clearest case for Seed Audio 1.0 is its combination of prompt-driven scene building, image or audio steering, and cloned-voice reuse, a set of tools designed specifically for audio creators who work across speech, character, and ambience in a single workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use both English and Chinese in the same audio generation?
Yes. Seed Audio 1.0 supports English and Chinese, and you can write a bilingual prompt to produce output that moves between both languages naturally. This is particularly useful for narration or dialogue scenes that are designed to serve speakers of both languages within a single audio file.
How many reference audio clips can I upload to steer a voice?
You can supply up to three reference audio clips per voice. Using multiple clips that share consistent recording quality and vocal tone gives the model a stronger signal, which generally produces more accurate and repeatable results than relying on a single short sample.
What is the maximum length of audio I can generate in one pass?
Each generation can produce up to two minutes of audio. If your script or scene concept runs longer, plan to break it into segments that fit within that limit and stitch them together in your editing workflow using cloned or reference voices to maintain consistency across segments.
Can I steer the voice with a character illustration instead of a recording?
Yes. The image steering feature accepts a portrait or character illustration and uses visual information to inform vocal character. This is useful early in production when character artwork exists but no voice actor or reference recording has been selected or recorded yet.
How do I keep the same voice consistent across multiple projects?
Once you have cloned a voice in Arteza, Seed Audio 1.0 lets you reference that cloned voice directly in new generations. This means a brand narrator, a recurring character, or your own voice signature can be reused without uploading fresh reference material each time you start a new project.
Is this app suitable for generating non-speech audio like ambient environments?
Yes. Seed Audio 1.0 is designed for sound scene generation, not only speech. You can prompt it with a purely environmental description, specifying locations, textures, and layered sound sources, to produce ambient beds, atmospheric backgrounds, or spatial audio sketches without any dialogue or narration present.
How much does it cost?
Each generation costs 1 credit. New accounts get free credits to try it out.
Which AI model powers this app?
This app runs on Seed Audio 1.0, available through Arteza with no separate account or setup.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. Content you generate is yours to use, subject to our content licenses.
How long does a generation take?
Most generations finish in under a minute, and you can watch progress live in the gallery.
