Researchers have developed GLASS, a novel framework for controlling acoustic style in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) systems. Unlike previous methods that entangle speaker identity with prosody, GLASS treats attributes like speaking rate and pitch as independent, reward-defined control directions. By training lightweight LoRA adapters with GRPO, the system allows for composable style adjustments through linear arithmetic, enabling targeted shifts in speech characteristics without retraining the core TTS model.
