Guess I found the cheat code! I was working as a preschool teacher when my blocks/stoppages were at their worst. As I was practicing with ways to reduce the blocks, it didn’t seem “odd” when I used other voices - whispered, sing-song, or silly. If you wanna continue this in DM’s, feel free. FWIW, I’m not the typical demographic that generally uses this sub. I’m a certified “cat lady” whose first memory of stuttering was while training for my Bat Mitzvah.
