As in whenever you are speaking to yourself, to inanimate objects, non-humans (like pets) there is no stutter?...

You should try speaking your thoughts out loud and see if you can notice a difference. I also have a few phrases I say that come out without a stutter, and swear words come out quite clearly. ...

My understanding is that stuttering decreases or disappears whenever there is an activity that does not go directly from thought to speech. Singing is one well-known one. Another tends to be a second/...

when talking to myself not really but im not 100% fluent either. When by myself and talking, it depends. I can't leave a voicemail for someone and not stutter, even if im alone....

Thanks for answering my question! I've always found it interesting and intriguing that my stuttering almost completely vanishes when no one is around. The same also applies to whenever I sing. ...

Dont think so, but then again a rarely speak to myself as i speak to others. Its mostly things like "nice" "im a fucking retard aint i?" and "fuck shit damnit", and i dont really stutter on those sayi...

Yes. Nearly every stutterer does not stutter when talking to themselves, to inanimate objects, or to animals. I think this might only change if a person is in the room....

Not sure if a rare success or a first step towards normalcy.

Not sure if a rare success or a first step towards normalcy. I had to give a tour at my job today, and it was AWESOME! I was completely articulate and I could translate every thought that I had. It fe...

Any other fluency disorder sufferers actually enjoy talking?

Any other fluency disorder sufferers actually enjoy talking? I know this may sound crazy, but I actually quite enjoy talking to people even though my stammer makes it hard sometimes. I have a bachelor...

This spring I held a speech about graduating in front of my class. I made it very patriotic, using the Independence Day speech music(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egzfvjy6sqk) to make my speech ridic...

I'll add my own story (which is why I posted - never met another one, and I'm curious!). My first gig was plain old ESL in China. I had 50 students and all of them were older than me and doctors, so ...

I am the same way. Even my spoken word poetry is fluent. Anything with a meter and I have no problem. My stutter was so bad that I stopped speaking to people for a whole year. But when I sing, or ev...

Ha, yes. Some of my buddies laughed at it today (they didnt mean any harm, they didnt even know how it hurt until I got up and walked out), and when I returned it was business as usual. No issues at a...

I can confirm this. At my old job, I became a manager and was so confident in my ability to make sandwiches and prep food that I could smooth talk anyone about anything. Take me out of that environmen...

I think I can relate. Whenever I'm giving a talk or speaking publicly in general, my stutter is somehow greatly reduced. I think a lot of it has to do with confidence, and maybe an adrenaline rush tha...

I think that the reason most people don't stutter when they sing, mock, imitate, act, ect. is because they get a chance to feel like something else. When we stammer, it is usually the fear of stammeri...

I've been a stutterer since third grade, but I've acted since I was in eighth grade. For some reason, when I'm on stage acting and singing, I don't stutter ever; but once I get backstage it all starts...

I remember reading a Redwall book where a character had a stammer. One of the other characters taught him to sing everything he had to say and his stammer went away. It's silly, but this got me thin...

Well, every person who stutters experiences no problems while singing. So this is not weird. But I think you have a great chance to practice speeches! Just start with saying a little bit before your ...

Any stuttering musicians?

Any stuttering musicians? I used to be a drummer when I was 14 up until I was 17, then I switched over to being a singer-songwriter when I turned 18. It kind of sucks when I perform and I have to do s...
