To stop the light being too harsh, Diffuse the flash guns with an elasticated flash diffuser, cheap off ebay, or if your using some pro flash setup, move it further away and use a proper softbox/diffuser.
either way, a different shutter speed wont make the flash any less overpowering. Flash duration is a constant thing on flashguns and majority of pro setups. If you sync it any lower itll let in ambient light and maybe become blurred due to camera movement, however even if your flash synced up to 1/500th with your camera, itll still be at the same power from the flashgun and have the same affect as the flash duration is the same.
Its Aperture and ISO that affects flash, so chuck the F number up to F16 instead of F5.6 and you'll see dramatic results. If you've already done that use the softbox/diffuser approach as stated above. Alternatively you could bounce the light off the ceiling (if its low enough) and that'll give it a more natural feel. Straight flash like that will always look harsh, unnatural and create shadows, unless its stopped down enough to just add a bit to the colour.
