Practice breath control, slow down speech, focus on word choice and listen to that 6th sense we all have on when a block is coming. The most important thing is- don’t worry about it, don’t spin into ...

How did you control your stutter?

How did you control your stutter? For people who are able to control their stutter, even to a certain extent, what train of thought/method helped you get there? I realize each stutter is different but...

Nope. I did well in the Army with a severe stutter. They will even send you to speech therapy if you choose. Therapy helps a ton of people, but didn't help me at all. Just adapt and overcome...

Yeah, I've heard about other people using that tactic of reading out loud as a way to help with stuttering, but I never thought it would work for me as i only stutter in front of people, but now that ...

I’ve been to some actual speech therapy, not that useless school shit, but what she taught me is smooth and steady onset, and it actually works. First your need to learn to talk really slow, not in ev...

You are not alone. And there definitely is hope. Unfortunately if “suck it up” was going to work, it would have worked by now. “Telling someone to “Slow down” is not actionable advice or a long term...

Try slow speaking, with lot of pauses and chance to breathe. Practice with strangers. Any time you feel tense, imagine slowing down. Taking your time and not letting others rush you. I find this to be...

Thank you, this is really a good view. It really resonates with me because almost all of my friends are immigrants in university... I get along better with them than the people of my language. It's st...

Letting everything out

Letting everything out I just came across this sub and wanted to let everything I have about my stutter because I feel like you all will understand. I am fifteen years old and have had a stutter for...

I found speaker slower and more monotone really helps me with fluency. BUT! when speaking like this, it sounds like I lack any and all emotion in your tone. Gives a very robotic / emotionless tone....

Yes, see the clip below. I don't think they teach gliding anymore because I didn't see you tube videos out there on it. I got that therapy in about 1976, so things might have changed a lot since then...

Great article! What do you mean by gliding? I’ve seen a few videos of Carl Sagan but can’t find a clear example of him gliding onto words! Do you have any YouTube clips of him or others doing this? Th...

Alright. "Shitty parenting" is how we access stimulants. Nictotine and sugar may be relatively weak, but when you consider consumption frequency and how it's re-consumed every few seconds/minutes -- n...

How I Largely Overcame a Stutter and became a College Professor.

How I Largely Overcame a Stutter and became a College Professor. Hi Fellow Stutters: I’ve overcome my stuttering enough to spend a year studying in a non-English speaking country, and have been a col...

Did you ever go for speech therapy? I went in middle school and they taught be how to glide past those first problematic consonants like M, or P, and I will do that now when I get stressed and start t...

I'm an online Teacher of Italian and Neapolitan languages and, believe me, rolling the Rs is a problem for many students. A good Teacher will surely help you but there is no reason to rush things. Tak...

Yes, I'm a former stutterer turned mild stammer, and a college professor. I find on the rare occasion when the stutter comes back from stress, talking slowly helps. But even more, I try using my speec...

Hi: I can empathize with you because I've moved from being a stutterer in middle school, to someone with a very light stammer as an adult that only comes out when stressed. I'm a college professor, s...

Ive actually had some experience with this. Most of the time it works but every once in a while a stutter slips through. But my speech has gotten a lot better in the past couple of years....

Yes. Be a slow speaker and take lots of pauses. It’s not weird and may allow you to prepare your thoughts more as well as stutter less. Both good things for interviews....
