You may try using embedded speech commands in text, such as:
say -v "Markus" "Bitte besuchen Sie auch unsere Website unter www punkt apple punkt [[emph -]]com."
or
say -v "Markus" "Bitte besuchen Sie auch unsere Website unter www punkt apple punkt [[pbas 30]]com."
cf.
Speech Synthesis Programming Guide
Not tested, for I'm using OSX 10.6.8 where no voice named Markus is.
Good luck,
H
PS. The following commands demonstrate some tuning of Ralph's speech under 10.6.8.
say -v Ralph "dot com" say -v Ralph "dot [[emph -]]com" say -v Ralph "dot [[pbas 30]]com"

Dec 3, 2014 3:56 AM in response to Hirotoby cabaumle,Thank you. [[emph]] and [[pbas]] have no effects with Markus voice. And Ralph voice is doing the speach correctly without.
Maybe Markus voice can not understand the special commands?

I've read that some new voices do not honour some embedded speech commands. I'm afraid it may be the case for Markus.
As an absurd workaround, you might try komm in lieu of com, like this:
say -v "Markus" "Bitte besuchen Sie auch unsere Website unter www punkt apple punkt [[cmnt com]]komm."
Good luck,
H

It looks like "Markus" is a voice which is not interpreting the commands. [[slnc n]] works fine. Others do not. And the trick with noting like human reading is not working either. It looks like "Markus" is pronouncing correctly only if the sentence is understandable by the (a) dictionary.
At least I can change the positions in the sentence to avoid the .com at the end.
