I'm a little late to the party. Firstly, best wishes for graduating and what a great idea for a documentary. I think dedicating a small part of the documentary to some "a day in the life of a stuttere...

The exercise that helped me the most from speech therapy was talking to strangers (asking questions at a store) and trying to stutter on purpose. It's hard to make yourself do, but I was really able t...

Ebay would be your best bet! Plenty of reputable sellers with old coins there. And I don't live in the UK either! I'm Canadian, so I used a Canadian quarter, as they were the cheapest large coins wit...

Don't beat down on yourself. I'm now 39 and have had the shittest times also. Every time I'm in work I have to do a handover at the end of shifts in the quietest fucking room phone. I still am a ni...

It's actually really easy to do yourself! The site I bought everything from (minus the coin) even had a [video guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4o0awlphiQ) on how to make it yourself. All I di...

King George VI is honestly one of my personal heroes. The fact that he didn't even *want* to be King, and broke down crying in front of his mother after his brother abdicated the throne says a lot....

What a great idea! I have a little tattoo (not of King George) that is my little reminder of what I’ve been able to overcome. I’m going to have to find a coin like that...

I love that idea! King George VI is one of my favorite sources of inspiration. The actual King of England had a stutter. We can do this, we can do anything!...

A funny video I like to watch.

A funny video I like to watch. I like to watch this video because it portrays people who Stutter as being one of the most intelligent people in the universe. I feel like normally when people who stutt...

I really dont mind it sounded funny there is no shame at laughing at it i mean yeah its one of my worst memories but still one of the funniest 😂...

Didnt mean to laugh at you man. Trying to laugh at bad memories to cope.. thank you so much for your story!...

I want to first state clearly: do not mimic stuttering or laugh about stuttering! I endured that growing up. I also had job discrimination due to my stuttering. If you are a public figure and you ...

Oh that's so so sweet! Reminds me when my SO ordered a few things from the internet and went to the shop for the items when they arrived. The shop assistant asked for the order's number (which was qu...

Yeah, I can see why the assignment was set, but you'd almost be better following a stutterer around for a day if that were possible. Pretending to have a stutter, while you would get first-hand experi...

You can't experience what we experience every day but it's the closest exercise you can do. I wouldn't get hung up on making sure you're convincing enough. If you can walk up to a stranger or stand in...

Thank you for your opinion. The reason I asked this question was not because I don't want to see what it's like to be in your shoes. I watched several videos and interviews of people who stutter and ...

Thank you so much for your response! I completely agree with you. I feel that I would've learned so much more from interviews of actual people who stutter than to seek out a disingenuous experience. ...

My opinion, do the assignment. Imo it's not offensive because you're trying to understand what being a stutterer feels like on any kind of a first hand basis. I don't care how naturally empathetic som...

I don't think it's offensive necessarily, but it is entirely worthless and a waste of time. There is NO WAY you could learn what it is like to live with a stutter by pretending to have one for such a...

I believe that the instructor should have known better and exercised better judgment when creating this assignment. A better assignment would have been to interview 2 individuals who stutter to gain...
