What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have ElevenLabs set up to generate studio-quality narration audio from your finalized scripts — saving you from booking voice actors, managing recording sessions, or suffering through your own recorded voice. When you need to update a line of narration because content changed, you'll regenerate that audio in 30 seconds instead of scheduling a re-record.
What you'll need
- A finalized narration script (even a single module's worth)
- An ElevenLabs account (free tier works to start)
- Time needed: 30 minutes for setup; 5–15 minutes per module after that
- Cost: Free (limited characters/month) / $22/month Starter plan (for full production use)
