I actually read his entire book and watched all the videos back in 2022. I completely agree with his explanation of the **Valsalva response** — it made sense to me. I even followed the exercises he listed at the end of the book and practiced things like **humdronian speech**, **humming**, and **easy, effortless speech**. But despite all that, I struggled to apply it in real-life situations. I couldn’t stick with it long enough because I wasn’t seeing immediate results. I’d really love to connect and hear your experience. **How long did you practice those techniques before you started noticing real progress?** How did you stay consistent?
