Audio Up Unveils The 615 Switch, A Revolutionary Podcast
Audio Up has officially launched its latest project, The 615 Switch, a pioneering podcast that combines the thrill of scripted comedy with the rhythm of country music. Set in the vibrant heart of Nashville, this podcast explores the chaotic ups and downs of two ambitious music entrepreneurs whose fortunes take a wild turn due to a reckless gamble made by two cunning music executives.
Innovative storytelling with AI at the helm
The 615 Switch stands out not only for its engaging narrative but also for its groundbreaking production methods that embrace the role of artificial intelligence in creative storytelling. Created with a pre-existing script by Audio Up's CEO Jared Gutstadt and his writing partner Zach Selwyn, the series employs a proprietary voice swap technology developed by Gutstadt himself. This innovative tool allows the production team to cast voices for various characters, marking a dramatic shift in traditional audio production processes.
Gustadt emphasizes that while there are fears of AI disrupting industries like music, film, and podcasting, the technology also presents unparalleled opportunities for creativity. He asserts, "AI technology is impacting every corner of the entertainment business. We see this as an unparalleled opportunity to create content in ways that never existed at any point in my career."
Star-studded cast and original music
The cast of The 615 Switch features talent like Clayton Johnson, a contestant from The Bachelorette and Audio Chateau artist. With performances packed with energy and humor, the show shines a light on character-driven comedy intertwined with music industry satire.
Adding to its unique flavor, The 615 Switch boasts an impressive collection of 35 original songs. Unlike fully AI-generated productions, the music incorporates elements from Gutstadt's extensive experience as a country music producer while also leveraging AI tools. The resulting sound uniquely marries the authenticity and emotion of traditional music production with the innovative capabilities of modern technology.
The soundtrack of The 615 Switch will also be launched through Audio Chateau, promising fans a rich audio experience that they can enjoy both within the podcast and as standalone music.
