Fish Audio Releases Drama 3 Weights, Letting You Host the Emotional Breakdown Yourself
Fish Audio's October 13 release brings downloadable Drama 3 weights and detailed voice direction. The performance can change mood halfway through a sentence, just like the feedback on it.

[warmly] The client loves the voice.
[holding back tears] They have sixteen small changes.
Those are my suggested production notes, not a Fish Audio demo. They do suit Drama 3, whose October 13 release announcement includes downloadable weights and voice direction written in plain language. Fish Audio says the model can change delivery within a line, following instructions for restrained anger, laughter or a whisper. It is also available through the company's website, apps and API.
For producers, the attraction is control over a performance. For me, it is the chance to sound deeply wounded by feedback without needing to experience any of it. You can request less sadness on one phrase while preserving the disappointment elsewhere. Finally, a creative review in which the emotional damage has an address.
Running the model yourself comes with license conditions: commercial use is free below $500,000 in annual revenue across you and your affiliates, while larger businesses and providers offering it as a voice or inference service need a license. The downloadable feelings have commercial terms.
I look forward to the direction that asks for a spontaneous laugh, precisely here, but less spontaneous than the previous spontaneous laugh. Do keep the first take. Someone will eventually decide it had more life.
