I argue that singing could work as a sort of distraction let's say that I'm focusing on singing, then what I'm doing is, I am prioritizing pitch modulation (i.e., tone and melody speech), voicing, volume, and timing patterns and whatnot Rather than excessively focusing on affective state influence from communicative context, and utilization of cognitive control, such as, repetitive negative thinking about feared words/situations, or excessively checking whether we spoke fluently or not So, I think that if we are singing, we give our control back to our subconscious, we basically let our body do its own thing.. without interferring with speech control. So that our subconscious can focus on encoding articulatory voicing (for the production of voiced and voiceless consonants), ongoing auditory feedback control, auditory memory retrieval, and auditory error signal processing (to maintain fluency) Result of singing: The result can be that we reduce the proportion of short phonation intervals, lengthen vowel durations, slow articulation rate, and stabilize articulatory voicing, and then we might stutter significantly less. But, just like any other tool, we can apply singing effectively or in a maladaptive way, in my opinion
