It’s pretty much focusing on your breathing as you speak. Sometimes we try to force ourselves through a sentence or a word we are going to stutter on and end up out of breath and without rhythm in our...

I can say that this advice you’ve given is correct as I tried something similar (point 1 and 3) in my own style. Perhaps the most important one is the relaxation element. For this I walked slow, made...

1. Try tilting your head sideways and then speaking. 2. Act a bit high or drunk or sleepy (I never drank alcohol) to feel more relaxed. 3. Tighten your fists then release. Then start reading....

Have you tried speech therapy? A professional could probably explain this better. As a person who also blocks, though, here’s what I can tell you: there’s no real way to “move past” a block. You can w...
