A Character is a reusable persona with a name, identity, personality and Voice. Characters are shared across your workspace, so one Character can host your AI Podcasts, Videos, Shorts and Voiceovers, each of which takes up to four hosts.

## Default characters

Every new workspace starts with two Characters, assigned to your first Podcast, which you can edit, archive or replace like any other.

Jellypod keeps a starter pair for each of its 121 languages and for six regional Englishes. It picks the pair for your signup accent, then for your browser's language, and otherwise uses the English pair.

| Accent | Pair |
|---|---|
| American (default English) | Claire Brooks, firm editorial delivery, and Marcus Hayes, warm plain-English explainers |
| British | Theo Ashworth and Nell Harding |
| Australian | Lachlan Reed and Tessa Brennan |
| Indian | Anika Rao and Rohan Mehta |
| Irish | Aoife Brennan and Ciaran Walsh |
| New Zealand | Maya Bennett and Finn Mercer |
| South African | Leila Jacobs and Daniel Adams |
