Yes! I'm a stage performing and have been doing magic professionally for 13 years. My stutter goes away entirely when I'm on stage - it's always baffled me. I stutter most when I'm focusing too much ...

Anyone in here an actor/performer? Even with their impediment?

Anyone in here an actor/performer? Even with their impediment? Just out of curiousity, does anyone else in here work as an actor or performer despite their stutter?? I've been acting for almost 2 year...

Because as far as we know stuttering is a thought/vocal production timing issue. Its really hard to effect one without the other in a consistent way. Lets say your stuttering is made worse by anxiet...

Just curious, did you stutter even less when the podcast started? Is it kind of like you're "performing" similar to how some people stutter less when they're acting?...

Emily blunt had a stutter since she was young, and in middle school, she found out that when she is pretending to be someone else it somehow got rid of her stutter....

I kinda know what you're saying? Like I had to do this acting thing in front of some high schoolers for one of my clubs, and not only did I not stutter, mumble etc., but I think I was even charismatic...

Wow. I don’t mind trying this at all. And now that I think about it (I’m trying the accent at this very moment btw), I find that I’m slowing down my words and “dragging” them out. Hmmm...you might be ...

I had a massive hang-up about this when I first started in the military. As an aircraft mechanic a huge part of my job is calling in discrepancies reported by aircrew to the Ops Center over a radio n...

I used to stuttered from a very young age (when my dad left actually) until 10 and then it came back from 15 to 21-22. Worst thing that could happen to me back then was to read something out loud at h...

I tend to improve a lot when I get into a “character”. If I’m reading a funny post, or a story to kiddos, or even a passage of dialogue with multiple speakers, I adopt the mentality of the person whos...

A1 - it can be genetic, not necessarily. A2 - It is possible, especially if everyone around her doesn’t expect of her perfect English speaking skills. She might be focusing more on translating her th...

I like writing and I love learning languages and find them somewhat easy to remember. Does that count? I’m also good at playing music. I love playing music...

This might be a BIT much, but you could do a slight accent! It helped me in high school when we had to read plays out loud. If anything else, I guess humility helps! Just knowing it’s gonna happen and...

These are great tips. Thank you so much! I have notice when I speak with an accented voice it is easier to not block...

Hey you sound great ! I'm really inspired that you went onto an online platform to do this, very brave and encouraging. I recently made a post in which I ask people from this Reddit to imitate actors...

I would have loved to try to get into actingand my stutter was made very apparent early on with expressing that idea. My mother used to take me to casting calls and auditions for commercials and marke...

I'm an Actor. Auditions are never an issue, because I don't stutter when I'm being someone else. But introductions, i suck at. Almost always stammer when i have to say out my name!...

Until I was 19, my stuttering was quite severe. At that age I started working as a promoter in a supermarket. I don't know how to explain it clearly, but it was like "singing" or acting, I didn't st...

I do improv sometimes, and when I'm in character mode I hardly stutter at all. I feel like I'm using a different part of my brain....
