Most people have developed a worse stutter *because* they are trying to avoid stuttering at all costs. And practicing talking with yourself will barely have any impact, especially if you don’t stutter when alone. Make random calls to stores, restaurants, car dealerships etc and practice talking to them *while doing some voluntary stuttering*. My ideas come from educated PWS, and SLPs who *specialize* in stuttering. Most SLPs are trained to treat misarticulation - not stuttering. Do you want your dentist treating you for oral cancer? The most likely outcome of lovetts ideas is developing a more impactful stutter.
