Advice for vocal blocks?

Advice for vocal blocks? I feel even when I slow down my speech to avoid stutters I end up with a vocal block instead. It makes me feel dumb because it looks like I have no clue what I'm talking about...

I relate with the question thing too! Anytime I’m asked a question I 100% will block on nearly every word, especially towards the beginning. Sometimes, if it’s not as bad, I’ll block on the first few ...

I live in the Midwest too! Feel free to message me if you wanna chat or be friends! I wonder if the same could be true for me. I rarely get out of the house and the only person I speak to on a daily b...

Kinda similar. When I talk to myself, no stutter. When I talk to an attractive girl on a date, barely any stutter. It appears that I stutter the worst when I’m talking to people that I know. However...

People say this to me a lot too. I also have adhd and people say I get intense at times. Sometimes I wonder if it’s sub-conscious because when I am angry I do not stutter nearly as much. Also, maybe w...

At my first job interviews I was blatantly told I couldn’t be hired because of my stuttering, then my first couple of jobs I was treated like I was stupid or slow by coworkers due to my stuttering. Yo...

Although my work sector does not require much speaking (warehouse, forklift driver), I mention it on my resume, since my stutter is severe, I think it's relevant....

I practice a lot before any interview. Literally, I spend week rehearsing the answers and go all out in the interview. What I found is the interviewer really does not care about how you deliver it if ...

Disclose enough to let people know what's going on. The point is to kill the "i'm not sure what's that long pause mean" panic on their side, and the "shit shit shit shit what if they find out" panic o...

Most people don’t understand it but letting them know for sure helps them know you just stutter and you’re not stupid. And the reason you didn’t get called back could be literally anything but you’re ...

You're not alone. I faced too but also I have gone through many interviews where I have rejected the offers too. Just believe in your ability instead of limitations(Stammering is definitely not disabi...

I totally understand. At school it was always teacher saying 'first to shout out the correct answer' and I never could, even though I knew it because of my blocks. I have got very good with changing...

Yeah I know what you mean. Struggling to get words out means that it’s harder to control your tone of voice, and tone is so incredibly important for communication. One thing I do is smile and laugh ...

Nah, mine was/is bad from time to time. I adapted and figured out ways to make it work for me....

This is a deep question and one I think about a lot. I got messed with early on but I learned how to adapt. I had to make it up in other ways… I worked my butt off, did what I was supposed to do, didn...

I have a mild stutter. I stuttered before declaring my stuttering to the panel. They managed the interview professionally. Nevertheless, I got rejected. TT...

I typically tick any box that says I have a disability, ask for extra time for my stutter, or if not an idea of the interview questions or topics beforehand.  And I additionally say at the start of ...

I'm an indian. Lived in the UK, for 3 yrs before leaving 2 months ago And honestly, my accent, the tempo, stutter, and interview pressure, combined put me out of the job hunt....
