Practical workflow:
1) Get written, timestamped consent with ID verification specifying scope, term, revocation, compensation, attribution, and rights to create/host synthetic voice.
2) Record high-quality voice samples (5–20 min, varied phonetics/emotions); retain originals and metadata.
3) Build model (e.g., ElevenLabs), label versions, keep audit logs; require speaker sign-off on final voice.
4) Contracts: license scope, exclusivity, fees, moral-rights waiver, revocation, deletion/return, indemnity, liability cap, audit rights.
5) Disclose sponsored content as synthetic per FTC; embed metadata/watermark.
