Something that really helps my stutter and speech anxiety!

Something that really helps my stutter and speech anxiety! I'm 19 years old and have had my fair share of blocks, prolonged sounds, and many other speech problems. I found a YouTube channel called "Voice and Speech" by a man named Jay Miller. He is not a professional medical doctor on speech but he is one of the best coaches I seen out there. His videos really helped me. https://www.youtube.com/user/voiceandspeech Please take the time to look over some of his videos and actually engage yourself in them. My family is very understanding of my speech and encourages me to better myself. Even though this is true, I like to practice his techniques in a room that is isolated from the home and has good sound cancellation. I would advise practicing his advice in a way that makes you feel comfortable. As funny as it sounds, I like going into my garage, because, well, no one goes there for any reason most of the time. Resonance, a topic that he really gives importance to, makes me feel more aware of my voice and drives me to be a more effective speaker. All my life I have had missed opportunities and beneficial situations that I have neglected due to my public speaking anxiety. Now, I am taking charge of my situation. I am most conscious of people's reactions and thoughts towards me as a person due to my speech. As a reminder for both myself and many others who have speech stutters like I do, it is important to disregard these thoughts. They, the thoughts of people in relation to public speaking anxiety, are not beneficial to you and **will not** help you in any way whatsoever. Without leaving these thoughts first, there can not be any significant change. I wish that you all have a great week and prosperous speech.
