Is it bad to whisper to avoid stuttering? When I talk to people, or try to ask for things, I just say one word, and I don’t realize that I’m whispering what I’m saying because it just happened out of nowhere. I have to force myself to speak in my normal voice when I need to, but whispering has helped me not stutter when asking for simple things. I’m just worried if it’ll damage my voice in the future, or make my stuttering worse. Is it bad to whisper to avoid stuttering or does it help in someway?
