Rhythm while speaking

Rhythm while speaking I recently met another person who stutters, and he gave me a tip I've never heard of before. Figured I'd share here, since it helped me. Since most of us don't stutter while singing (is that universal or just me?), try giving yourself a rhythm to follow while speaking. Tap your foot, or tap a pen or something of the like. Hope this helps! EDIT: Have been told that this will end out just giving you a tapping problem to deal with as well as your stutter. Don't do this
