I have also done that. For years and years, the only television I watched was British television over the internet... and I gained a sincere admiration for that society's brand of intellectualism. I w...

I've never thought about that to be honest with you. That's a pretty good idea actually. So you are maybe concentrating hard on emulating another type of speech that you are forgetting about your st...

Yeah, it's a thing. I find that we can't rely on it completely, though, if we mean to use it generally. The more we get used to it, the less it becomes a role, which seems to be the deciding element i...

This is most likely because you are accessing a different part of you brain when adopting a different personality or accent. It's the same with singing or even reciting rhythmic poetry....

Playing the part not to stutter? Hello everyone. In my experience as a lifetime stutterer I realized that when i adopt an artificial personally, talk with an accent that isn't mine. Or play a characte...

For me its the opposite. One of the strongest triggers for me is reading aloud. When i was 10ish I did an impersonation of Hans and Frans from the old SNL bit. One of the people who saw it mentioned...

Hey! I'm from the UK (pending) too! Honestly the best thing I've found is to just let go of your pride. You're gonna stammer either way. Get angry, get red in the face. For me, it flows once I've laug...

I Claudius is better. The King's Speech is a great movie, but not entirely accurate. In reality the speech therapist did the opposite of what the movie portrayed; there was no digging deeper, just a s...

I watched it or more specifically I was heavily encourage by my folks to watch it. I'd say it was a good movie, but at the time I in heavy denial mode. There's also an HBO miniseries called I Claudi...

I am actually the opposite. French and English I have no issues with. Norwegian (my native language) is a bit worse. My theory is because sentences in French and English usually start a lot smoother t...
