Many stutterers experience not stuttering when alone. Basically, the context in which we speak is important, and being alone isn't the same as being amongst others. Many stutterers also experience no...

I've DMed before and my stutter is pretty severe. It helped me to have little prompts written down, and putting on a voice for the different NPCs helped too, oddly. Just have fun, basically, and the ...

Same thing for me. I've done theatre my whole life (95% musicals though), and I never stutter when talking/performing on stage....

speaking with accents is kinda weird and u can't do that when u speak formal (conference for ex) or when u speak foreign languages :(...

Yes, foreign languages are much harder. Luckily I don't have to use them too often though. What's interesting, though, is that if I inflect a certain accent it can sometimes make it easier to speak....

We all have varying degress of contextual personality shifts. But actually trying to get away from yourself whenever trouble arises (donning a character to escape the stutter), that's what sounds fic...

Speaking differently doesnt equate changing your pitch or going the goofy way. Im a classical singer and when i stand on stage or need to speak to important people i shift into stagespeech, which mean...

Why did you put 'roleplaying' in quotes? Oh, as in, not _dice_? We're talking about a person here who, presumably, would never _not_ be in character of some sort, when they were dealing with other pe...

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Theoretically you can keep changing voices, roles, languages, accents, etc...That would be somewhat exhausting, but beneficial in critical situations. Some form of acc...

I used a similar method when I started high school. I was in a new school where I only knew one person, and to fit in I just acted as if I was cool. It felt like I completely faked my personality at f...

Speak loud, proud, and powerfully. I've always found that when I'm acting for a play or anything like that (even school presentations), I don't stutter. It seems like I stutter wayyyy more in casual c...

This is the only way I can read aloud too. Or give presentations, teach, etc. Unfortunately I didn't have the confidence to take this approach until well after high school....

Try reading the paragraph like an actor reading a monologue. Own that paragraph and use a different voice than the one you usually use. This is the only way I'm able to read aloud in front of others w...

Today I had a 90 percent success rate, I was happy about that . But then again most my convo was busting balls which I usually lay on an exaggerated NY accent as part of the drama and I kind of was si...

When you act, you often change your role from yourself (PWS) to whatever role you take it (who's character likely does not stutter) and you dont think about it. I know several people who have stutters...

Does anyone else...act? And find that they do not stutter?

Does anyone else...act? And find that they do not stutter? I have a someone severe stutter. Very often times I get blocks where I just can't spit the word out, and if I do get it out, I repeat it abou...

Maybe it's that you're playing some sort of role?... I remember rehearsing and performing a role in a play once, and I never stuttered when I was that character. I experience the same when I don a voi...
