Different tones on different parts of the text #490

It would be nice if it was possible to add some specific tones to single words or whole sentences.

For example:

(also all combinations, like whispering sarcasm)

Is this already possible somehow? I saw espeak generates emphasis markers anyway, but maybe this could be altered manually in some way?

Or I could probably train and use different variants of some voice. But it seems it's not possible to switch voices without causing pauses, even when setting "sentence_silence" to 0. But this would probably be the best workaround so far.

It would still be nice if such a feature existed, preferably without the need of training new voices (if possible).

I second this. Some sort of markup language would be nice if it exists.
