Movie Idea: A person with a stutter auditions for a role in a movie as a stutterer. But when he auditions, he doesn’t stutter, so he doesn’t get the role. But he learns he doesn’t stutter when he acts, and becomes an actor.

I stutter because I don’t want to say anything. I’ve been working on my stuttering since 2015. I’ve tried to know why I stutter. At first and for a long time, I couldn’t look at myself at the moment I...

Then push yourself out of your comfort zone. I’m quite an introvert so almost everything is out of my comfort zone. Find what makes you stutter and face it head on. The next time you face it, it will ...
