When you stand in front of the class, be 7 foot tall. You own that room while you are presenting. Fill the space. Standing there, immobile in front of the class, is the worst. Move around. Watch how...

I think there are a lot of factors but I think the road to recovery mostly involves the same general principles. So every program has to involve supportive individuals, growth in confidence, assertive...

I view fluency as a spectrum. Hardly anyone in the population is without some disfluency. For stutterers, our disfluency is so frequent as to be evident in everyday speech. I was a severe stutterer....

Remember to breathe, drink water, and take your time. I feel for you. It will be difficult at first but the more you do it, the easier it will be. I also suggest asking a friend or family member ...

I don’t know if it will help, but I had a problem where I wouldn’t breathe when I talked. I was trying not to stutter by talking as fast as possible and that meant not breathing, but it didn’t work an...

I think I know the pain you are talking about. If you’re not referring to pain from depression, the pain you feel in your head I think is from competing intentions that are wearing you out. For exampl...

I know exactly what will help. Practice saying “arlic” until it sounds like “garlic”. I personally have trouble with G and D and B so I use this method everytime and it always works because the person...

I’m 17 too, I’ve taught myself some techniques throughout the years. The first is breathing, I take a short breath before I’m about to say something and in between words. It’s helped a lot for me. A...

Maybe try figuring out where the source of the sound is e.g. the roof of the mouth, the teeth, your lips, throat. From there you can practice the sound and know what area or muscles to relax....

This would be interesting to try. Thanks for the suggestion. Interestingly, I noticed that I don't breathe through my mouth at all when I speak, but practicing certain breathing techniques helped me t...

would saying *uhhhh*garlic help you at all? that seems like it would help me get through saying that word frequently. my job name begins with a G, and i stammer on it almost every time i answer the ph...

I don’t have a specific one (I’m on maternity leave so haven’t been doing any public speaking recently) but a variety should come up if you search in YouTube “vocal warm ups /exercises for public spea...

You don't need to do both at the same time. Mew when you are resting. Dont mew when you are eating, speaking....

Maybe try pronouncing it as "Gawlic"? Could come off as a weird accent. If it's the initial G that bothers you try taking a deep breath to loosen your esophagus, I heard it's beneficial to certain blo...

Add an "H" sound as the prefix. I.e. "Odd" becomes "Hodd". Most people won't notice and the H will get you going, I promise. This works well for vowels....

Tell them you stutter, then it takes any confusion out of what happened! I highly recommend going back to the same group and asking if you can finish the sentence you were trying to say just for the s...

Just do your best to not judge your speech at this time. If you’re not judging your own speech, then it will go a long way in helping your fluency. You can speak, believe that. You’re making yourself ...

I shouldn’t have said force in the first place. It’s more sound manipulation i suppose and pronunciation of sounds more assertive is the word used in what I’ve seen but that’s also paired with a certa...

Hi, Have you tried taking a video of yourself when you talk slower? My guess is it sounds very slow in your head when you talk, but sounds natural on the video. That's how it is for me at least, give...

Not true, it’s so not much forcing it out, it more pushing it out by doing things like making the first sound more aggressive, holding onto the start of a word to smooth it out. I know this because I’...
