Confidence is a big factor in this. Especially since it effects anxiety, which makes our stutter 100 times worse. The thing is though, there’s no one size fits all for maintaining either of those. For...

Yes, my stutter did get better. I started stuttering in 1964 due to what I’d consider, pretty horrific family dynamics and issues at the age of 12. I am 69 now and speak quite well with only occasion...

I find that if I'm just calm, slow and sound bored I'll stutter less but if I'm really enthusiastic and pronounce words a tad different as a result, I'll also stutter a little less. It's strange how ...
