You have a great stage presence! I loved the content of your speech, also. I'm a Speech Pathologist and am currently working with two special little girls who stutter, and I'm doing everything in my p...

The General physicians usually just follow prescription guidelines but discriminate based on age. They’re strict with most prescriptions and loose with others(like stimulants and ADD). I’ve been to ...

Going from a 28 second stutter to barely anything in 1 year.

Going from a 28 second stutter to barely anything in 1 year. Hello everyone this isn't my first time on here as I've been talking about my stutter and the difficulty I've had with it throughout my lif...

Also, from personal experience, when you train yourself to use that new “sing song” type of voice....it does work, but only for a very limited amount of time. Then what happens is that style of speaki...

I’m sorry that happened with your teacher. Sounds frustrating. From your description, you may have some vocal fold dysfunction going on along with your stutter. Basically that’s when the vocal folds (...

"Tricks" and "tactics" aren't necessarily all that helpful, especially in the long run. Once they've lost their novelty factor, they're likely to be integrated into the stutter. You may just be settin...

I used the Van Riper stuttering modification approach with him. He is working as front of house manager in the most prestigious 5-star-hotels in the world, a job that requires a lot of talking....

1: Porn use has no specific bearing on stutter in the scientific consensus, no. 2: I didn't link to sources, I linked to Wikipedia, which has sources for you (notice the word "aggregated" up there). ...

Just commenting here to show my support. I’ve been there as well. It’s incredibly humiliating but hey, every time I quickly add after that that I stutter they all have this guilty and shameful look in...

Speech therapy and hypnosis worked for me. I went from 0% fluency to 85% fluency. I've been stuttering for over 43 years and now I just dont give a 💩 anymore. I felt a radical difference when I ga...

My firsr course was in Wembley, London, and the one I just came off of was in Bristol. The courses are roughly the same each time, except graduates do slightly different activities to new students. Al...

Hey man. I’m 17 and work a cashier position at Walmart. (Willingly) and I found that it’s actually helped my speech improve quite a bit. I also read aloud about an hour a day, which helps as well. It’...

I would recommend therapy if it is available. A good course imo is something that is a mix of desensitisation and techniques like soft starts and cancellations. I did a 2 week course when I was 18 and...
