Speech blocks and bad at pronouncing and fluency? Hello, I have always had bad speech blocks but something that is sorta more recent ever sense the pandemic, was bad at pronouncing even basic words or bad at flowing my sentences. Like I know how to pronounce and how to say these words but it’s like I either speech block or I have choppy speech or I just outright don’t pronounce the word right and it could be a basic word like “comfortably”, but I would stumble and mispronunciation it like crazy. Or maybe my vocal tonality is completely off or when I speech block I literally cannot force words out. I have no clue what to do this condition is killing me and destroying my confidence and I feel stupid while speeding please help. Do you think I need vocal lessons or what are some ways for me to improve?!
