Hello Katrina,
Thanks for reaching out! I'm happy to share that you can slow down your text-to-speech audio using SSML, which Storyline supports.
To enable SSML support, you must enclose your text-to-speech narration with the start tag <speak> and the end tag </speak>. You can control the speaking rate using the <prosody> tag, as shown by the sample below and the attached file containing the resulting text-to-speech audio. If you'd like to slow down an entire paragraph, enclose all of it with the <prosody> tag.
<speak>
<prosody rate="x-slow">
