Breathing is part of speaking.
If you were to delete all of a person’s breaths between speaking, that would sound extremely unnatural.
Probably the only thing that sounds more unnatural than that is when you remove, let’s say, half of a breath. It will sound really weird.
So when you’re editing out pauses or “dead air,” be sure not to chop off parts of anyone’s breaths.
