Most I could see it do is to allow voice actors change their voice, using it by itself is not feasible because DL doesn't know where to put emphasis, where to speed up and slow down, it doesn't sound emotional. I don't know who would like to have their book read by monotone voice. Maybe it could voice dictionaries and encyclopedias.

Tbh that doesn't sound like a particularly troublesome task. Super-set the language with some new accents, symbols, and new punctuation markers and then off you go.

Hate to break it to you, but injecting human emotion into speech is more than just putting intonation and punctuation in the right place.

I read the parent post as suggesting that the appropriate "acting" cues and emphasis might be explicitly annotated in the text just as the intonation and punctuation in normal text.

However, I'd guess that it's simply quicker and more efficient for someone to just properly act and speak the lines with a dramatic effect and any explicit annotation of how exactly they should be said takes much more time and effort.
