The Before and After of Costal Breathing - it's time for a real-life case study! Hello all! I work with a UK charity called Empowering Voices, which is now almost a year old. We run costal breathing courses for people who stammer/stutter. We've just started a YouTube channel, and I've uploaded a version of our first video here to this thread so that you don't have to follow a YouTube link to watch it. I'm all about the convenience for you lovely Redditors. :D I put this thing together and I have a stammer, so posting it to the 'Stutter' subreddit seemed like a complete no-brainer! The video features the story of Mobbassar. He works as a research scientist for Cambridge University, which came in very handy! You see, the university filmed a staff profile video of him a couple of years ago, before updating it with a new section earlier this year. This gave us a real-life comparison of how he sounded before his first costal breathing course, compared with after just 2 years of working on the technique he learnt. I think the contrast is quite illuminating! If you have any questions about costal breathing or our courses which take place across the UK, please ask and I will answer! Costal breathing isn't for everyone, but it has helped many thousands of people who stammer over the years. I've personally found it life-changing. Unfortunately the video had to be pretty compressed to get under Reddit's 1GB limit! The YouTube version is full fat 4K, so that's the best place to watch it if you can. If you view it here, though, and you like what you see, please could I ask you to also watch at least 30 seconds on YouTube to get our views up? As a new channel, we're starting totally from scratch and could definitely use the help of the stuttering community on Reddit to get the word out. On YouTube you can like and subscribe to get notifications for our new videos whenever they appear. We have other people's stories to tell you about, and lots of fun stuff that we want to do with the channel in future, including reaction videos to good and bad portrayals of stuttering in TV/film, and much more besides! Here's the YouTube link: [https://youtu.be/DCbmAdVJAuo?si=wyd4TK-CsL9\_A9G0](https://youtu.be/DCbmAdVJAuo?si=wyd4TK-CsL9_A9G0) Thanks for reading/watching, folks! It's much appreciated.
