Modern music intros for podcasts and videos

Adding a catchy, short, and modern music cue at the beginning of your podcast or video is a great way to help your audience remember your channel and recognize it later on (a.k.a. branding).

But how do you choose the best intro?

Hi, I’m Mik, one of TunePocket music composers. I’ve put together some simple tips to help you choose best intro and picked my 20 favorite cues from our huge catalog of royalty free music intros. Read my tips below or jump straight to the playlist.

Here are 3 quick tips to help you choose the best music opener for your podcast episode or video:

1. Keep it short – keep your podcast intro under 30 seconds, ideally close to 10-15 sec.

2. Use a short music cue, as opposed to simply cutting 15 sec out of a longer song.

3. Match the genre / music style to the tone of your podcast or video.

What’s the best length for a music intro?

Essentially, your intro is a quick ad for the upcoming content. Don’t make it too long so your prospective listener don’t lose interest and move onto the next podcast or video.

Use it to build anticipation.

I recommend keeping the intros between 5 and 15 sec. Certainly not more than 20-30 seconds.
