Fish Audio released Drama 3, an open-weight TTS model it calls the most emotive and controllable yet: you can shift voice and tone mid-sentence, change how a single word sounds without regenerating the whole clip, and steer delivery with plain-language directions like "say it like you've completely given up." A clone of Uncle Roger roasting his own fried rice showcased the realism. Fish Audio says it raised a $52M seed round and has 15M+ users; commenters say the SSML/whispers era is over.
