About Drama 3

Drama 3 is Fish Audio's text-to-speech model for directed voice performance. Plain-language directions in square brackets before a line set emotion, intent and pacing, paired tags apply effects to specific words, and it handles sounds, pauses, multi-speaker dialogue and voice cloning across 83 languages. It is a 35B mixture-of-experts model with 3B active parameters per token. Fish Audio announced it as a preview on its API on September 23, 2026 and released the weights on October 13, 2026 under the Fish Audio Community License, which allows research and limited commercial use.
