DramaBox, announced 2026-05-14 by @0xDevShah/Resemble AI, is an open-source, state-of-the-art voice model built for cinematic use. It’s marketed to deliver performance-like vocal nuance (sighs, cracking, strong emotion) rather than neutral assistant-style TTS, with a demo video showing those capabilities.
On 2026-05-14 @0xDevShah (Dev Shah of Resemble AI) announced DramaBox, described as a “state-of-the-art,” open-source voice model positioned as a new category for cinematic use cases.
We're releasing a whole new category of voice models.
Introducing DramaBox — our state-of-the-art, open source voice model built for cinematic use cases.
Traditional TTS gives you a voice. DramaBox by @resembleai gives you a performance.
For too long, Voice AI has been stuck in "robotic assistant" mode. If you wanted dramatic emotion, sighs, or a voice cracking with grief, you had to hire an actor or spend hours editing. We fixed that.
