Drama 3
Drama 3 is Fish Audio’s directable text-to-speech model for creators and developers who need control over vocal performance, including emotion, pacing, sounds, pauses, and selected-word effects. It is available in the Fish Audio editor and through the API.
Overview
Drama 3 is Fish Audio’s directable text-to-speech model. It generates speech from a script while also interpreting written directions about how lines should be performed, rather than treating the input as plain text alone.
The workflow supports inline performance notes, sounds, pauses, and word-level controls. It is available in the Fish Audio Text to Speech editor and can also be called through the API with the drama-3 model identifier. The product page describes the model as being in preview, so results can vary between takes and users may need to generate several versions.
Key features
Add inline sounds and pauses
Insert sounds, emotions, breaths, laughs, sighs, or pauses at specific points in a line using inline directions.
Control selected words
Apply scoped tags such as Whisper, Emphasis, Soft, Faster, Slower, or Forceful to only the words that need a different delivery.
Direct in your own language
Write directions and tags in English or another language while keeping the directions within the script workflow.
Generate starting directions
Use Auto Tag to add starting directions to a script, then edit or replace them before generating.
Create multi-speaker scenes
Add multiple speakers, assign voices, and generate a complete dialogue scene in one pass.
Use cases
Multi-speaker dialogue
Write dialogue with speaker names and scene context, assign voices, and generate a complete exchange together instead of producing every line separately.
Character and narrative voice work
Add delivery notes such as warmth, hesitation, skepticism, or a near-whisper to shape character performances for scripted scenes.
Narration with expressive timing
Place pauses, breaths, laughs, or other inline sounds at exact points in narration and dialogue when timing and texture matter.
Programmatic voice generation
Send directed scripts to the Text to Speech API for applications or production workflows that need generated audio from reusable text templates.
