Drama 3 from Fish Audio: text-to-speech you can direct like a voice actor
Drama 3 is a text-to-speech model from Fish Audio, now in preview, that takes stage directions alongside your script. According to Fish Audio, you can describe how a line should feel in plain words, place a [sigh] or pause exactly where you want it, and limit effects like a whisper to selected words. It also performs multi-speaker dialogue in one pass and accepts directions written in other languages. Fish Audio says results vary between takes during the preview, so plan on generating several. Before using output in a paid ad or episode, read Fish Audio's licensing and voice-use terms, which this page does not cover.
