Again I think it is good advice as part of a good speaking technique. They don't explicitly mention this at the Mcquire Program but I've added it to my technique. You need to think about what and how ...

I think it is actually good advice (kind of). The problem is you can't just rely on slow Speech. It is worthwhile to speak slower as PART of a good speaking technique....

People who stutter would do well to inform themselves as much as possible about those who overcame their stutter. It seems to be much less about strategies like using “slow easy speech,” like we may ...

Looking for people to talk to virtually to practice my techniques.

Looking for people to talk to virtually to practice my techniques. As the title says, I am getting back into a speech program, however I would get faster and better results if I had someone to talk to...

Good observation! Fellow musician here. Well, I rather call myself a producer/composer. My wife actually told me the same a while ago. She asked me if I had realized how fast I usually speak. I re...

I think I just need to slow down my speech considerably. I was recording myself this afternoon. When I played it back I was shocked to find out how fast I was speaking, or trying to speak, at times....

Speaking slowly definitely helps. Unfortunately, even with all of these strategies, I will still get stuck on a Br- word. If that happens, rather than trying to push through it, which feels like try...

Indeed! I never really do stretching, but you should do whatever you feel works for you. It's all about gaining confidence as well. With Bread. If I block on Br, I will tell myself: "Already...

Have you also tried stretching syllables? It forces you to slow down, which allows you to alter the tempo of your speech to a more comfortable rate, and your brain will have more time to plan speech....

I think most of my stuttering problems mainly happen when I don't breathe correctly. I noticed that when I have trouble I take very shallow, quick breaths to the back of my throat which creates tensi...

If you think about how speaking works and what happens when you block (you hold your breath) breathing is a huge part of fluency. Anything you can do to be more in tune with your breathing and improvi...

in speech therapy a homemade lung trainer was recommended, it's basically a half full bottle of water with a water hose inside it and u blow air through it, i felt that my lungs worked out but it had ...

Whats lung trainer? And yes I'd assumed that is good practice for stuttering...

Have you ever gone through speech therapy? If not you should seek it out. Helped me a ton. The first thing you learn is the mechanics of how speech works. You need air moving over your vocal folds to...

Wow you picked probably the hardest profession for someone who stutters haha. Good on you! Id say think about what “progression” actually means to you. If that means being able to hide your stutter ...

So ‘stuttering’ the act itself is not ur issue, everybody stutters or bobbles time to time and often in anxiety provoking situations such as ‘I’m going on a date or I am asking a person out, I hope I ...

Been there. Congratulations is a long word and gives your mind time to mess with you. The majority of speech therapy is pretty useless in my experience unfortunately. The therapists are well intenti...

This is great. I did this for so long to help with anxiety and speech. I would record myself then listen to it on the way to work. Bonus if you are reading something useful in your recordings like pos...

Now that i think back at it chewing gum does help, but not sure about the exercise for me. Thanks for the tips 🙏...

Every morning I run 1 mile, read 10 pages out loud of a book and chew gum when I have to talk to people. This has cured about 90% of my stutter. Not saying this will work for everyone but it has for m...
