The easy onsets (going into the word with an audible, breathy "H" sound) can help, especially with blocks (aren't blocks the worst?) I have to say that I typically do what u/Budget_Dust9980 mentioned ...

In low stress situations ( like with your family/friends) try to stutter while saying your name. It sounds counterintuitive, but it WORKS. Most of the time, the more we anticipate stuttering on some w...

I feel you can practise the R sound alone. More like rrrrrr... That really helped me with that sound. I realised I had trouble saying the word radius. I have noticed so many factors that contribute to...

What's helped with me is focus on trying to change the way a word sounds. If you know trigger spots draw it out and shorten out. Stay away from massive amounts of caffeine. Deep breaths, even when ta...

I learned one technique long ago... sounds that you hold...m, n, r, etc. You can try holding the sound until the tension goes away and then move on to the next sound. Youll have prolongation but it ...

I have it to but mostly with vowl sounds. Like A in start of my name. I can't even introduce myself to people. I use a notepad on my phone giving my name :(( But what I found could help and I'm still ...

One technique is to start each sentence with an ah/uh sound so that you can flow into sentence. (Like a sound someone makes when they are thinking.) Hope that makes sense haha....

The quote is out of context then. But I would argue that practically every technique I learned in speech therapy is a trick. One person's trick is another's technique. And I have no problem with avo...

The "hh" sound in easy onset is supposed to be a voiceless sound, so not really an added sound. I think the idea is really to get people to speak on the exhale. At least that's what I was taught, but ...

I think I read about this in William Parry's stuttering book. Constant phonation I think it's called so your air stays flowing. It definitely works. I just need to remember to use it....

Excellent question! ~~It's similar.~~ I'm guessing that the reason OP's technique works for the moment is humming is getting the exhale started. Moving air (breathing) is a key function required for ...

I’ve been doing this for years and can definitely say it works. The slight humming pause allows my brain to align with my speech. It’s not a cure, but it definitely helps me initiate my speech....

How is this really that different from speech therapy techniques like easy onset or dragging out first syllables and things like that, though?...

It's basically where you kind of ease into the word that starts with a vowel by adding a really quiet "hhhhh" sound in front and then speak on the exhale....

could you explain more on what easy onset is? idk what it is, i just sort of made this technique up myself....

Oh yeah! That's kind of a similar idea as easy onset isn't it. That's something I've been trying to work on....

I found a way to help me reduce stuttering

I found a way to help me reduce stuttering So i’ve been stuttering for pretty much since i could talk. I never knew why i stuttered or how I could fix it, so it has been annoying for me to live with. ...

I noticed that too, I stutter less when I read. So i wrote random things and read it alone as a practice....

When I’m on the phone I write the words that I block on as I’m saying them. Something about writing as I speak helps....

The first time I heard this it needed a little explaining as my first reaction was "what do you mean my stuttering doesn't hurt me with the experience that I had". But my speech therapist and now good...
