I’ve tried strategies and techniques to reduce my stuttering. They did not last long and my stuttering returned. I decided to study and research as to why fluent speakers don’t stutter. I discovered the Valsalva response which gave me the idea that I needed to change how I spoke. The fluent speakers have voluntary control of the airflow through their vocal cords during speech. This continuous and easy airflow helped me to relax my voice which resulted in reduced stuttering. I practiced this whenever I spoke which resulted in my making this my normal speech pattern. I finally became basically stutter free where I have never had a relapse. It has been a life changing experience.
