Podcast Intro Voice & Score

I’m launching a show called “Make Waves,” and I’d like you to create an opening that instantly pulls listeners in. Here’s the complete script you’ll read:

“Big waves don’t start big. They start with a single ripple. This is Make Waves — conversations about life, faith, leadership, and the moments that shape us. We’ll share stories, ask honest questions, laugh a little, and try to make sense of the things that matter most. Some days we’ll get it right, some days we won’t, but we’ll keep showing up and trusting that God uses ordinary conversations to do extraordinary things. I’m your host, Hal Roberts, and I’m glad you’re here.”

The read should feel friendly and conversational, as if you’re talking to a friend across the table. Behind that voice I want an epic, cinematic bed—think sweeping strings and light percussion that swells without overpowering the narration. To tie it all together, I’d like the gentle sound of waves tucked in subtly underneath the first line to reinforce the “Make Waves” theme.

Please deliver:
• A clean, broadcast-quality voice-only file
• A fully mixed version with the music and subtle wave effect balanced under the narration
• Separate stems (voice, music, SFX) so I can adjust levels later if needed

All music and effects must be royalty-free with commercial use cleared. A short sample or demo read will help me choose quickly. Looking forward to hearing your creativity on this.
