You can add natural pauses by using commas and periods.
Voice actors don’t read sentences exactly how they’re written; they add brief pauses in places where commas don’t exist, or they may pause to take a short breath.
To mimic these pauses and achieve a natural sound, use commas and periods.
Commas
Commas add pauses in places where a voice actor would make a small, subtle pause. If you find the AI struggling to make a good prediction for adding pauses, insert commas in these places.

It may not be how you’d write it, but it will sound just like you’d say it.
