Speech therapist Tim Mackesey gave me an incredible lightbulb moment when he said to basically talk in short segments, while breathing normally, sometimes taking a breath before saying the next part. ...

Stutter freely! When you try not to stutter, you only stutter more. Before your speech, relieve the pressure on yourself to perform by being honest with your audience. Tell them you stutter, in your o...

Hmm i would say, read a lot out loud. You need to hear your un-joking voice as much as possible. You need to reinforce your normal calm voice. When i was around 12 years old I read books with my mom a...

I don’t have much experience with public speaking, but I used to have this problem on occasion when talking on the phone. I I think it ultimately boils down to being relaxed vs nervous. You don’t nor...

Try pushing it out hard with a lot of tension then feel what it feels like to push it out with no tension. That’s what my speech pathologist told me to try. When you push or try real hard hard you a...

I do find it a bit easier to get things out on an exhale. I’ll practice hitting it super soft for sure. Thank you!...

Try to hit the K sound as softly as possible. You're aiming for almost no K sound at all. Start exhaling before you say "control." Almost as if you are open mouth hissing the K out. Use a relaxed ja...

You could just omit the letter c and say 'ontrol', it's the first crutch in Lee Lovett's self cure methods. If you can say 'ontrol' you can often just jam control right after it without pausing or hes...
