I mean, thats a great achievment for him. But reciting a fully written down speech where you have all your sentences and breathing pauses optimized is not "learning to speak". Its the same thing with ...

I have so much respect for him, for even allowing the film crew to show this on TV....

fucking brilliant. god i'm bawling at work, this touches me so much....

if you anticipate that you're going to stutter on that word, then you are more likely to stutter on it... just pick one you like and go with it. :)...

I would compile a list that is easy to say then choose the one you like the most. I personally wouldn't like to stutter on my child's name because it would surely bother me. Don't bother listening to...

I usually speak pretty fast in general. I never knew why, if it was just anxiety that if I speak fast enough, would I not stutter?...

True, through practice it has helped me a bit, but I should practice some more...

Thanks man. Yep, what you said at the beginning, that is the same problem I have, sucks so much.....

Yeah I am thinking about picking that up, I think practice does help...

Nice metaphor!...

I started to speak faster when I was younger as a way of 'avoiding' stuttering, then I ended up speaking fast and stuttering.. not great! Trying to actively speak slower and think about what I'm sayin...

I'm an SLP and I see this in a lot of the speakers I work with. Some people seem to talk fast because if they "get a good start" and just "launch" into it, they hope things will turn out OK. The trou...

Yeah I have a similar problem, I think I'm so worried that I'm going to stutter and embarrass myself that i talk so fast no one can comprehend me:/ I know it's frustrating, but keep trying to work thr...
