Personally, I think if someone picks it up and questions you on it, you feel less obliged to try and 'hide' it, so you are in fact more relaxed. That could just be my own personal experience though....

Yup, same here. Makes me greatly self-conscious. Either I try way too hard to control my stutter or become nervous which causes me to double my stuttering. Strange that it works for you....

Anyone else's stutter go away when it's called out?

Anyone else's stutter go away when it's called out? I have been a long time lurker and just had to point this out and see if i'm the only one who does this. My speech is very hit and miss, some bad da...

haha, no i was just speaking for me from my personal experience.i lost some money because i was desperate enough to try a lot of "therapies". that's why i'm very sceptical about buiseness-models like ...

No, it's not a cure. It never said it was. I think you've completely misunderstood this course. This is by no means a quick fix. It'll take years of hard work to really get it all down. However, you'...

>As far as people confident on the third day, this isn't an all too uncommon experience whenever people are in such a supportive environment and are exposed to a new and exciting program. That is ...

Few things, firstly i havent done mcguire. I know many people who have. Secondly the course is several thousands of dollars. I think they let you try out the first day to see if you want to stick with...

I feel it's made me more shy in terms of not feeling confident enough to say certain things, for fear of stuttering, whether this be answering questions in class or when it comes to getting to know ne...

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'm a journalist, and I have to interview people on the phone or participate in teleconferences fairly often. Just last week I was on the phone with a company talking about their new product, and I wa...

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...

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...

I try not to pause for too long because it can get awkward. My pauses usually last for 1.5-2 seconds until I can get my speech flowing again. You're right, pauses make you more confident and make you...

Thanks for sharing this. Silence (pauses) can be an incredibly powerful communication tool, but so many people (those who stutter and those who don't!) are afraid to use it. I think that deliberate p...

I have a mild stammer, this is how I deal with it.

I have a mild stammer, this is how I deal with it. I remember stuttering since I was about 9 years old. It got so bad, during our appointment with a speech pathologist I broke down and cried. School...

My German was pretty bad back in high school. The stutter was a part of it, but I noticed I didn't stutter nearly as much while speaking English. I think I was too focused on speaking correctly to car...

I stutter more in Spanish (my second language) than I do in English (my first). I think it's because I use English more than Spanish on a daily basis....

Thank you for sharing your story. I am 27 and still have a stutter from when I was 6 years old (this morning I had trouble getting out the word "animation" for a good 5 seconds). I am also a litigator...
