I've never recorded myself speaking, but I definitely make more mistakes when I record myself singing, or playing an instrument. It makes me more nervous even if I'm the only one who's going to be hea...

I've always found voice recording and listening to yourself talk is a REALLY important exercise to understand the elements of breath control and speed and rhythm for working on my own voice. It's inte...

Voice recording homework

Voice recording homework My German teacher gave us homework, to read out two paragraphs about Anna Frank and her diary aloud. By recording and sending her the voice message. This reminded me of my spe...

My stutter, as best as I can describe it feels like a feedback loop. One stutter comes out and then comes out another… haha. But it is what it is. The only consistent behavior I have is my face reacti...

Fake confidence for some reason makes me better lol. If act all confident I can speak pretty well. Can't explain it, something i learned on my own. But if I had to go with a technique probably just e...

I have trouble with vowels, they cause me to instantly block. What I have to do is make a sound. Get in any sound. This is scary because with vowels especially, it can sound really ugly and uncontroll...

Being a stutterer is like being a goalie sometimes, it's nothing personal - just part of the gig. I've had some dental work done during the past week and my mouth is killing me - so I've done a fine...

Those extra hard blocks are tough. My trick is to just stop trying for a little bit. I can always feel those hard blocks in my mind and body and I can feel when they go away. The funniest bit to me is...

I'm similar. I sometimes have facial contortions that happen when I stutter, though for me I think they serve to help me get the sound out....

Sharing the frustration.

Sharing the frustration. I haven't always had a stutter. It started at age 16, during the summer. I'm 28 now and it got worse over the past 10 years. Sometimes it was gone for months or years. But sin...

I'll keep that in mind. I can hardly fathom letting myself stutter, but at this point, it would probably be less distracting and obvious. This is my second year with them, so we know each other far t...

I've realized the click has really worked it's way into a lot of my speech, it's horrid. Since I've realized it, and have been trying not to do it, my fluency has gotten way worse. This is my second ...

Since my stutter gets worse I also close my eyes now and then when I have a bigger block. Not for long. I know it's secundary behavior. But it is what it is. I don't really care much about it. If it ...

Teaching with a stutter

Teaching with a stutter I am some sort of masochist. I followed my dreams of becoming a teacher, even though I have a pretty bad stutter. The kids prefer when I lecture, which is usually not a big de...

Thank you so much for your time and response! I'm going to try this and hopeful I can stop the habit :)...

Sounds like it could be a secondary behavior. Unconsciously learned when you were younger and stuck. Something like when you were on a tough sound you try anything to get the word out and when you twi...

My face and eyes twitch when I stutter or get stuck on a word. How can I correct this?

Pronunciation problems

Pronunciation problems In the past few months, I have been able to rid myself of my stutter almost completely. I don't know how I did it, but it somehow just happened, and I am completely amazed. As g...

Aw hey man, don't be so down on yourself. A lot of stutters have physical tics attached to our disfluency. I, for one, can't keep eye contact, whatsoever. I've tried very hard to train myself out of i...

I say um all the damn time. I mainly do it because I silently block for fucking ages and I need to let people know I'm still in the conversation. That being said I pull faces when I block now so I'l...
