Why there are only two entries
A short verified guide beats a long invented one
Actor names, character names and other place names are omitted unless a first-person, institutional or similarly authoritative pronunciation source is available. Spelling alone is not treated as pronunciation evidence.
Audio boundary
No synthetic voice claims
The Casebook does not create imitation audio for living people or present generated speech as authoritative. A future audio entry would link to or use permissioned first-party material.
