Slow down time Unity3d Mecanim

I am trying to slow down and ultimately stop it, i have a script that slows down timeScale however with that my player using mecanim also slows down.
I have created a TimeController.cs
that will allow me to keep track of time by having a alternative deltaTime as the player can use for variable,
public class TimeController : MonoBehaviour {
private float oldTimeSinceStart;
public float deltaTime;
void LateUpdate () {
float timeSinceStart = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
deltaTime = timeSinceStart - oldTimeSinceStart;
oldTimeSinceStart = timeSinceStart;
if (Input.GetButton("BulletTime"))
{
if (Time.timeScale > 0.01)
{
Time.timeScale -= 0.004f;
}
}
else
{
if (Time.timeScale < 1)
{
Time.timeScale += 0.01f;
}
}
}
}
From this point i thought about using Animator Update to set the mecanim logic driven speed for player speed and animation speed, however i dont seem to be able,
When using Animator.Update(MyTimeController.deltaTime);
It seems to run at variable speed, as if the Animator has a second input somewhere.
is there away around this? can you isolate the timeScale from the player/mecanim and have it look at another Time class for input variables?
So time slows down for the world but not the player, think clockstoppers!

As Felype mentioned, you can use Animator Component, I usually get the Animator component and then use <animator_object>[<animation_clip_object.name>].speed. For speed, value of 1 means normal speed.

Acording to Unity Documentation there's this animation speed property in the animator object:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Animator-speed.html
Try using
<yourgameobjecthere>.getComponent<Animator>().speed = Time.timescale; right after you set the time scale.
I'm not sure the animation speed is applied correctly during an animation tho.

true, but that still doesnt keep the player at normal speed but sets him to timeScale speed, if time is slowed down by 50% the character should stay normal, as if time doesnt slow down for the player but the world around him, think clockstoppers.

My thought was about, if we reduce timescale to 0.5, character speed should go to 2.0 theoretically, thus 1/0.5 = 2.0, if we decrease timescale to 0.25, character speed goes to 1/0.25 = 4.0. Not sure if this would work in practice tho.
