Everyone who stutters is different. I know friends who stutter no matter how they vocalize. There is significant improvement in over all fluency due to these factors: • There is now evidence that the brain functions differently for singing than it does for talking. • In singing, we use our vocal chords, lips, and tongue differently than when we talk. • There is no time pressure in singing nor is there any communicative pressure. • When we sing, we generally know the words of the song by heart. "Word retrieval" or searching for the words may play a role in stuttering. • Carly Simon, B.B. King, Bill Withers, Nancy Wilson and Mel Tillis are all famous examples of singers who stutter, according to the Stuttering Foundation, www.StutteringHelp.org, a nonprofit founded in 1947.
