VibeVoice: A Frontier Open-Source Text-to-Speech Model

I tried some TTS models a while ago, but I noticed that none of them allowed to put markup statements in the text. For example, it would be nice to do something like:

     Hey look! [enthusiastic] Should we tell the others? Maybe not ... [giggles]

etc.

In fact, I think this kind of thing is absolutely necessary if you want to use this to replace a voice actor.
