Slowing Down Speech Rate in Generated Video

recently generated a video clip using your create Clip API, but the speech rate is quite fast, making it difficult to follow. I used the playHT text-to-speech provider, but it doesn't seem to have an option to adjust the speech rate.

The link to the generated video is: https://d-id-clips-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/auth0%7C63f023050bca70499258f6b0/clp_vfuwSuhkbnJ1E0iFIk8p1/lily-akobXDF34M.mp4?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIA5CUMPJBIJ7CPKJNP&Expires=1720428873&Signature=VGVrWaS%2BQ4Pgu8luqBuXCoYuVtE%3D

I was wondering if you have any recommendations on how I could slow down the speech rate in the generated video? Is there a different text-to-speech provider I could try that allows adjusting speech rate parameters? Or is there a way to configure the playHT voice to speak more slowly? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

here is the request I sent:
