Short answer: ElevenLabs documents pauses via SSML-style break tags, not specifically for Dubbing Studio.
Insert a break tag in the text: <break time="1.5s" /> (max reliably handled ≈ 3s). Overusing breaks can cause artifacts or pacing oddities. (help.elevenlabs.io)
API also supports this same break tag for generated speech. (help.elevenlabs.io)
If a break tag isn’t honored in your context, the docs suggest punctuation hacks that sometimes work (less consistent): a dash or em‑dash (- or —, repeated for longer pauses) or an ellipsis (...). (help.elevenlabs.io)
Note: The help center does not explicitly confirm Dubbing Studio–specific support for pauses; it only documents pauses for Speech Synthesis and the API. If you’re editing clip text inside Dubbing Studio, try the break tag first; if results vary, fall back to the punctuation alternatives above. (help.elevenlabs.io)
