EVERYONE-unfortunately those of us who stutter/stuttered find ourselves in uncomfortable situations where we’re expected to share our thoughts audibly or even engage in public speaking. When I attended that “speech therapy camp” in Roanoke,VA back in ‘09 the clinic director informed us of a phrase we can whisper to ourselves before expected to speak. He told us that saying this phrase (to ourselves) would relax the vocal folds, and the speech muscles just in time for fluency to be engaged in our speech patterns. The phrase is as follows: “Men Marched On Mars!” “Men Marched On Mars!” “Men Marched On Mars!” 3x-this encourages vocal folds to relax and speech articulators Current figures in news media might encourage: “Musk Made It To Mars”-lol Wishing Fluency to ALL, Dave
