>*I love theatre and acting* Great post! Have you tried doing silly voices to not stutter like Emily Blunt? Emily Blunt talks about her past when she got bulied for her childhood stutter. But one day her teacher changed everything by encouraging Emily to try out for a school play. “I said, I don't want to". The teacher replied, "Well, I think you're very funny and I think you’re very good at voices – you do silly voices and you don't stutter when you do a silly voice. So why don't you do a silly accent or something?" And he was right. Doing accents and “silly voices” gave Emily “a fluency I wasn't otherwise capable of,” so she tried out for the play, got the role and the acting bug bit. She was starring in another high school production when she was discovered by an agent and, by the time she’d turned 18, she’d made her professional debut on London’s West End starring opposite Dame Judi Dench in a production of The Royal Family. Nearly 50 film credits and two decades later and Emily is now considered one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. “It was the making of me, in many ways,” she says of her debilitating childhood stammer. "I love mimicking people. I love putting an essence of someone I know into a part I’m playing. So, whether it’s an abstract or an acute awareness, I think it has made a difference to how I choose to play people.” Emily isn't Hollywood’s only big name to have overcome a stutter.
