Use the same voice ID in code

The preset name is the same in the open source Kokoro tools. With MLX-Audio on Apple Silicon:

mlx_audio.tts.generate --model mlx-community/Kokoro-82M-bf16 \
  --text "Hello from Kokoro." --voice bm_george --lang_code b

With the kokoro Python package:

from kokoro import KPipeline
pipeline = KPipeline(lang_code="b")
for _, _, audio in pipeline("Hello from Kokoro.", voice="bm_george"):
    ...

The first letter of the ID sets the accent (a American, b British) and the second sets the speaker (f female, m male). The language code must match.
