About Fish Audio Drama 3

Fish Audio Drama 3 is a text to speech model built for performances you direct from inside the script, across more than 80 languages.

Directions in square brackets, such as [barely holding it together] or [sighs], are acted out where they're written, and tag pairs like <whisper>…</whisper> change how the words inside them are said. It suits character scenes, audio drama, and long-form narration. Language tags such as <french>…</french> switch the language for a phrase, though they're still experimental. The weights are published under the Fish Audio Community License.
