Practical pipeline:
1) Record 5–10 min clean instructor audio and store consent/metadata.
2) Clone voice in ElevenLabs and version profiles.
3) Create SSML templates (pauses, emphasis); use ChatGPT to convert lesson scripts into SSML-wrapped chunks.
4) Batch-generate via ElevenLabs API (parallel calls, cache outputs) and estimate credits per minute to budget.
5) Post-process (loudness normalize) and spot-check QA.
