I only do one thing and I do it very well. I only know how to do is to train the brain how to learn. I have spent years researching how the brain learns. I discovered that my brain is wired differently. I hated to stutter and needed to figure out why don’t fluent speakers stutter. We both have the same physical characteristics but I stutter and they don’t. I discovered that a fluent speaker has voluntary control over their vocal cords. They can keep their vocal cords open during speech which allows for continuous airflow and no stutter. My brain will close my vocal cords during speech which results in stuttering. I figured that if I could gain control over my vocal cords during speech that I could also stop stuttering. Well it worked and now I am a fluent speaker. I don’t stutter anymore or hardly ever. People I speak to have no idea that I stutter. It has been a life changing experience.
