I've been given this 'advice' by my non-stuttering friends as a teen, like "you don't stutter when you do funny voice impersonations, can't you just always pretend you're acting?" It doesn't really work. I'm not gonna speak in funny voices all the time. Plus, I feel like having to pretend to be someone else for the rest of my life would drive me insane a lot faster than my stutter ever could.
