I started my road to fluency by reading the books by William Parry. You need to understand as to why fluent speakers don’t stutter. I observed many fluent speakers and researched the importance of airflow during speech. When a fluent person speaks their brain tells the vocal folds to maintain airflow. The stutterer’s brain tells the vocal folds to close during speech resulting in stuttering. What I did was to train my brain to maintain airflow during speech which allowed me to become fluent. I now no longer stutter. My brain understands what it means to be fluent. I do not have to think about it anymore because my brain knows what it needs to do to maintain my fluency.
