I have a feeling I've seen this post before. Either way, I'll paraphrase the same thing I said before and add onto it: If celebrities, that say they stutter or used to stutter, don't stutter in public then it's clear they have a great level of control over it. It would show that everybody has the opportunity to better their speaking. After all, they're human too! I'm also pretty certain that a stutter would hinder certain celebrities from having accomplished careers (honestly speaking). Actors and singers (from what I know) practice a lot of breath control, delivery, rhythm etc. that can help people that stutter improve their speaking. Maybe I feel this way about everything because I've overcome my stutter and despise any sign of victim mentality. Yes we generally take things more personally when it comes to our speaking. It's understandable that people would be pissed if others said to them "this celebrity has overcome it, you can too." That's happened to me in the past. BUT (generally speaking to everybody who sees this) be happy that the proof is out there. Yes, if celebrities can overcome their stutter then you can too. Might not be what you want to hear but it'd be unfair of me to keep that a secret.
