Quick workflow:
- Export high‑quality WAV from ElevenLabs and render in sentence/paragraph chunks.
- Use iZotope RX Breath Control or Audacity/Adobe Audition spectral edits to attenuate/remove breaths; apply short crossfades to avoid clicks.
- Preserve small breaths and vary pause lengths to keep natural cadence—don’t strip every inhale.
- Final pass: gentle high‑pass, de‑esser, light compression, normalize and limit.
