2. Wireframe Descriptions: Voice Design Interface & Presentation

This section outlines the conceptual interface elements within an AI voice design tool (like ElevenLabs) that would facilitate the creation and refinement of "Panthera Prime," and how its output might be presented to an end-user.

2.1. Voice Design Interface (Conceptual)

This describes the controls and options a designer would interact with.

2.2. Voice Presentation/Integration (Conceptual)

This describes how the "Panthera Prime" voice would be experienced by an end-user in an application.

• Minimalist Audio Player Component: A clean, unobtrusive player featuring basic controls (play/pause, scrub bar, volume). The player should clearly indicate the voice being used (e.g., "Narrated by Panthera Prime AI").
