Thank you for your response - how did you manage to transform your mindset regarding your stutter? For a lot of the opportunities that have been offered to me, it would be reckless to accept them (if I am cast in a commercial on a self tape that is fluent, showing up on the day and not being able to get anything out could cost my agency, the client and get me fired. It’s hard not to let something define you when it shapes every decision you make, for practical and functional reasons. How do you balance the cost of an interaction with the toll it takes on your mental health? Yes, I also studied contemporary vocals for a year before film school and was very successful in that endeavor. I was my happiest then but don’t really know how to integrate that back into my life in a practical way.
