Beating AI News Flash: AI voice firm Fish Audio has released the preview of its Drama 3 voice model, featuring more granular voice control. Users can describe tone, rhythm, and characters directly in natural language, eliminating the need to combine numerous emotion or audio tags. Drama 3 enables voice and speaking style changes mid-sentence, and can generate multi-character dialogues in a single go. For unsatisfactory parts, users only need to re-generate one word, rather than redoing the entire segment. Fish Audio’s prior-generation S2 model already supported natural language voice control; Drama 3 advances this functionality by integrating mid-sentence voice switching, multi-character generation, and partial re-generation into one model. This will significantly simplify post-production for game lines, audio content, and AI characters. Drama 3 is currently in the Preview stage, with developers able to apply for API testing access.
