I found a way to help me reduce stuttering So i’ve been stuttering for pretty much since i could talk. I never knew why i stuttered or how I could fix it, so it has been annoying for me to live with. The pst few years my stuttering had gotten a lot easier to control and i stutter a lot less. I found a new technique to help reduce stuttering even more. All i have to do, is to make a slight and quiet humming sound before starting my sentence. For example, words that begin with C are hard for me to say, especially words like can. Ex: *humming sound* “Can i get this?” When i don’t do the humming sound, i get stuck on the “can” and i repeat the “c” sound over and over and i hate it. Hope this helps someone who also stutters.
