SeedAudio AI Audio Generator
SeedAudio is ByteDance's Doubao Seed audio model for generating complete sound scenes from text and reference audio. Combine multi-role dialogue, emotion, background music, and environmental effects in a single pass for podcasts, ads, games, and narrative previews.
Built for full-scene audio, multi-role dialogue, and production-ready sound design
SeedAudio comes from ByteDance's Doubao Seed team and moves beyond classic text-to-speech. It targets finished audio scenes that combine speech, emotion, ambience, music, and effects in a single generation pass.
Scene generation
Describe a complete audio scene with dialogue, mood, and background layers. SeedAudio coordinates voices, music, and environmental sound in one pass instead of stitching clips manually.
Reference-guided extension
Use text plus reference audio to preserve timbre, extend narration, and keep speaker identity stable across longer outputs reported up to two minutes in a single run.
Core Direction
SeedAudio leans into end-to-end audio production
Public coverage positions Doubao-Seed-Audio 1.0 as a multimodal audio model rather than a narrow TTS endpoint. The practical workflow is to draft a scene quickly, refine roles and ambience, then extend with reference audio while keeping voice consistency.
Multi-role dialogue
Generate conversations with distinct speakers, emotional tone, and dialect or accent control in the same audio scene.
Full-scene layering
Combine speech, background music, and foley-style effects so the output feels closer to a mixed scene than isolated voice lines.
Multimodal inputs
Start from text instructions and reference audio to steer performance, timbre, and scene direction more precisely.

Recommended flow
A simple 3-step working pattern
Step 1
Block the audio scene
Write the scene in plain language, including speakers, emotion, pacing, and background sound.

Add reference anchors
When timbre or performance matters, attach reference audio to lock voice identity and delivery style.
Step 3
Generate and extend
Produce the full scene, then extend or refine until the audio feels ready for review or localization.
