Do you know how to help with I guess slowing down? I was really analysing my speech for the past 30 min and heres what I noticed (made a new post about it as well) \-I can talk pretty much fine, its only when I stumble upon pronouncing one thing I cant just continue on from that, if I mispronounce something it makes me stop and stumble. \-When I talk while I can pronounce S's pretty fine, when I'm actually starting to talk pretty quick, like sort of getting in a good moment, I pronounce S's very distinctly sort of like a snake (like for words like "it's" I will always keep that ssss going on for much longer then it should), like I pronounce them fine but I sort of highlight the S when talking unnaturally. When there's a ton of s's in a very short span I always end up mucking up. \-I sort of pronounce stuff like the sort of nerdy stereotype, like very slushy, like sometimes when I talk words like actually I'd pronounce ackshually (like the meme) and when saying "ch" sounds like much they can sometimes sound very slushy. Whenever either of these things happen it just mucks up my entire rhythm and I have to stop for a few seconds before I talk again.
