I'd be nice to be able to tag specific words for emphasis in a sentence, where the tagging process would be made via semantic NLU tasks and the voice alteration by the TTS model

That'd be interesting because it'd split the problem into "parse and highlight what should be emphasised" and "do the TTS".

I think there's alrrady research for "TTS after NLG" that does this, since a NLG system can export meta-info about emphasis, in addition to the text (at least in case of non-end2end NLG systems).

Whether that makes a big difference in practice, I don't know.
