I know people who took on an accent to lessen their stutter- it worked for them....

I like the advice about using a character voice. When I'm on the phone with someone who doesn't know me, I've noticed taking on a different speech pattern and pitch can help immensely. Remember, a lot...

When I put on a weird voice, like for a joke or whatever I don't stutter either. I don't like to stick with the same one too long and sometimes I'll talk to someone I met using another voice and they'...

I told myself to act like Jeff from Community a few times during college presentations, but alas, didnt work :/ Good for you tho....

Hahah. It´s kind a funny. And interesting. I have heard before that when PWS have to act they usually don´t stutter. Bruce Willis himself has said that acting make´s him overcome his stutter. So does ...

Do anyone else act like this ? So i just watched Breaking Bad, and when i gotta make a presentation or something i think like “What would Walter do in this situation, like how would he act and speak e...

Somehow you made stuttering(and other speech issues) sound badass, like unlocking another level in a video game....

Good news– your stuttering is NOT forever. It's diminishing significantly with aging, even without any therapy. Not so good news is that the best therapy results happen with kids. The early, the bet...

Based on my experience, OVERT is better than COVERT. Yes, it is a "shift in mindset" and takes courage. You can try it first at some random, not at your regular company. Better first tell them jokingl...

I'd like to tell everyone on here that your stutter is part of you.. it's far easier to embrace it and accept it than it is spend a lifetime battling it. I'm 44yo and have always stuttered. If it e...

I'd say go for the acting - but, big warning: it'll be hard. During my drama school training my stutter was severe, and I had a major lisp. When I came out of drama school I was what [Stamma call a '...

I agree with you. Moreover, I think that combining our experience and insider knowledge of this terrible malady can if not solve the problem, then contribute to its resolve. Now about “blocks.” Block...

Yeah I think it lends a lot of evidence to the idea that the stutter is an issue with and over reliance of the feedback loop system. I think it's my issue because if I'm impersonating someone I don't ...

I did not - at the time I had stutter, a lisp and heavy blocking \*in performance art\* and I got treated terribly for it. But, it would have really annoyed me to quit, so I pushed through and am glad...

Hello, I am 24M. I have attended acting classes between 11-19 and I also played in our local theatre in my country, hard to believe I guess but it is true. My teachers also told me that I should go st...
