For exampleThis tag can be positioned at the start of a sentence to defer its commencement. Please note that incorporating a pause at the beginning of a sentence will induce anticipatory movements, where the lips initiate movement during the pause phase in preparation for speech. For instance:
Hello. Very nice to meet you. #PauseOne What's your name? #PauseTwo. That's a lovely name.

If you do not wish to have this anticipatory movement, you can enclose the Pause Tag within an empty sentence. For instance:
Hello. Very nice to meet you. #PauseOne. What's your name?
