If you look up the [yips](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvpwG50fLnU), you can see something physically similar to a stutter in otherwise fluid movements. I have also seen people stuttering while us...

Yeah I'm not sure on the exact science of it either, but it sure as hell feels similar to my stuttering when I struggle to play a note that I know should come next. Like you said, I've tried forcing i...

I'm sorry but I never thought this was a thing. I've had my speech impediment since I was born and it's gotten better since but it's there. I just found this subreddit too and this is the first post I...

Physically stuttering?

Physically stuttering? Hi all, I've been stuttering ever since I was young and saw a speech therapist when I was in elementary school but never again afterwards. I also started playing the piano at a...

Seriously, all the time. It's always there. I've tried it all; drugs, therapy, meditation, breathing exercises, weird dental procedures, yadda yadda. The only thing that comes close to being a miracle...

> Does it take a herculean amount of energy when talking to yourself, alone? Yes, actually. I'm one of those stutterers who experiences disfluency when speaking to myself or my pets, while speakin...

I have never encountered this phenomenon! I do stutter when I talk to myself though, which I hear is not typical....

You wanna know what's weird? When I speak to other people, I stutter. When I read a book out loud, to myself, I don't stutter. Not even close, it's completely effortless. When I read out loud to a gro...

I can speak clearly when I sing, whisper or talk to myself when no one is around. Which defeats the purpose because there's no one around and my cats don't seem to care unless they aren't getting fe...

I was once hooked up to an EEG for a research project, and at the end we had some free time. The researcher asked me to do some various tasks like singing, reading aloud and conversing. When I sang (...

Certainly an interesting case, then. But I can't help you with an explanation. Maybe you were pretending to be alone/subtly singing/rapping... (morbid humor allowed? I hope so!)...

Exactly this, it's more of a communication disorder than a speech disorder. Another reason why you don't stutter when you sing is that your voice is constantly on when you song, which makes it less li...

Because you're not _speaking_ (no other people involved in a communication). :) It's a common thing with a lot of stutterers. But if you think about it, it's not that odd: We're literally in a differ...

I think it's to do with the fact that you use a different set of vocal cords while singing or something? It's quite miraculous. If only it was the other way around, eh? I'd be so fucking happy if that...

Does studying foreign language help?

Does studying foreign language help? I spent 3 weeks in continental Europe then 2 weeks studying German and just returned from a weekend in Montreal and my speech is the best it has ever been in my en...

I've commonly heard that people find their stutter much less noticeable when speaking a foreign language. I have to say that the opposite is the case with me, my stutter is much, much worse when tryin...

> A language as foreign as Mandarin Chinese just doesn't have the same oral burden that native English does to me. You make a solid point here. Speaking in a foreign language isn't difficult. I ca...

At first man, just try to learn gramar, vocabulary and stuff like that. talk to yourself if u want to learn pronunciation, 99% ppl who stutter dont stutter while they talk to themselves. it will help....

Having English as a second language, you are correct that you have to practice speaking it. It is amazing how different languages are in terms of breathing and rhythm. All I can say is try to speak it...

I am an American who has stuttered since a very young age (probably as long as I can remember). I have studied Mandarin Chinese in University for two years, including a one year intensive session. M...
