I will take Tom's idea to see if it helps; I'm afraid adding a small sleep cycle won't help, as the code just sleeps while the previous line speaks, unless I get the sleep too long, then it becomes jerky and full of unnatural pauses.

Or perhaps just append a period to the string of each line to force it to speak normally. You also might try tweaking the reading mode to line instead of paragraph as Tom mentioned, that sounds feasible.
