How to Make a Sung Jingle for a Show or Brand

A sung jingle on Club Ready Music comes from the Jingle tab on the Drops page: type the Brand or show name, write one or two lines in Sung hook, choose up to 5 styles, pick 6 s sting, 15 s or 30 s and press Render jingle. The music model sings the hook, and Club Ready Music trims the result to the chosen length with a 1.5 s musical fade so it ends on purpose rather than mid-phrase. One press gives one render with a play button, an MP3 download and Copy link.

Steps

1. Enter the brand or show name

Type the name exactly as it should be sung in Brand or show name. This is the phrase the hook is built around, so keep it in the form listeners know: the short name of the show rather than the full legal name of the station. If the name has a hard consonant cluster or an unusual spelling, write it the way it sounds, because the model sings what it reads.

2. Write the sung hook

Sung hook takes up to 400 characters, and the hint says it plainly: one or two lines, short words sing better. Put the name in the first line and the promise or time slot in the second, for example "Late Shift radio, every night at ten". Avoid long words and strings of consonants; open vowels at the end of a line give the model something to hold. If you are stuck, press Write it for me and edit the draft rather than starting from nothing.

3. Choose the style

Pick up to 5 styles that describe how the jingle should feel. Fewer is usually clearer: one or two styles that match the show's own music give a result that sits next to the programme without a jolt. Treat the style list as a description of the show's sound, not a wish list, because every extra style dilutes the others.

4. Pick the length

Choose 6 s sting for a sweeper or a bumper between segments: enough for the name sung once. Choose 15 s, the default, for an opener or a closer that carries the name and one line. Choose 30 s when the jingle is the show's theme and needs a full hook. Whatever you pick, the last 1.5 s is a musical fade, so plan the words to finish before that.

5. Render and listen

Press Render jingle. Club Ready Music lists the jingle in the Renders panel on the right when it is done, with its play button, MP3 and Copy link. Listen for two things: whether the name is sung clearly, and whether the end lands before the fade. If the phrasing is off, shorten the hook or move the name earlier, then press Render jingle again for a fresh take.

6. Download and place it

Press MP3 to download the jingle. Drop it at the top of the show, between segments or at the end of a break. In a podcast or broadcast editor, check the level against the speech around it and trim the gain so the jingle does not jump out; set a podcast at −16 LUFS integrated and let the jingle sit a little above the voice, not far above. Use Copy link to share the render with the host or the station before the show goes out.

7. Make a family of jingles

Render the same hook at 6 s sting and 15 s so you have a short and a long version of one idea. Then render a second hook with the same styles and a different second line for a different segment. Keeping the name, the styles and the first line constant across renders is what makes a set of jingles sound like one show.

Tips

• One line beats two. If the 15 s jingle feels crowded, cut the second line and let the music carry the rest of the time.
• Write numbers as words. "At ten" sings; "at 10" may be read in an unexpected way.
• Render the 6 s sting first. It is the fastest way to hear how the model treats the name before you commit to a 30 s hook.
• Keep the Brand or show name identical across renders. Small spelling changes change the way it is sung.
• Pair the jingle with a spoken drop from the DJ drop tab using the Imaging voice for a full station package: sung name, then spoken tagline.

Common problems

• The name is hard to understand. Shorten the hook so the name is the only thing in the first line, and spell it the way it sounds. Render jingle again.
• The jingle ends in the middle of a word. The trim and 1.5 s fade are fixed by the chosen length. Move to the next length up, or cut the hook to fewer syllables.
• The style does not match the show. You picked too many styles. Reduce to one or two that describe the show's own music and render again.
• You want three takes to choose from. Render jingle makes one take per press. Press it again; each new render is listed separately in the Renders panel.
