Voice speaking very quickly

Hello, many of the voices speak quite quickly and rush, is there a way to slow them down?
v
@NickVapi Absolutely! You can adjust the speaking rate of the voices in your VAPI configuration. If you have access to the settings, look for an option to modify the speech tempo or speed. If you're not sure where to find this setting or how to adjust it, please let me know, and I can guide you through the process.
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

@NickVapi you can update the style property of voice to control it's speed.

Copy code
curl -X PATCH https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/insert-your-assistant-id-here \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer " \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  "voice": {

    "style": 0
  }
}'

thank you, what does the style do exactly?
style double Optional >=0 <=1 Defines the style for voice settings.

@NickVapi Apologies, In ElevenLabs text-to-speech API, the style property also known as Style Exaggeration amplifies the original speaker's style characteristics. Regarding voice speed, the API does not offer a direct setting to adjust the speed of the generated voice. However, you can control the pacing by incorporating pauses in your text using the
<break time="1.5s" />
syntax.

thank you, do I put the break clause in the Vapi prompt?
like agent says 'hello, how are you doing?
I tried this Say the following: 'hello, how are you doing? . It is great weather today! ", however there was no break between doing and it is great
