Had a similar experience, saw a speech therapist for a couple sessions, and along with other practices eventually got over my stutter. Fluency is possible but it's not a straight line and it takes tim...
Absolutely. I only really started working on my stutter when I was around 22-23. I basically bombed out of every job interview I had after completing my degree, because I would literally block and sit...
It’s something we should expect from this era that we couldn’t interact with many like before. Try to speak to your friends and colleagues for a long time every day. That will definitely enhance your ...
maybe start exercising your speech more? My fluency has suffered a bit as well during the pandemic. Damn, I miss seeing people outside of the house....
Have you gone to a speech therapist? I am a grad student for speech therapy (I even have a client your age right now that stutters! His is due to anxiety though) and I can tell you that we do absolute...
It's up to you of course. Also, while eliminate isn't the right word, speech therapy can reduce stuttering in people to the point where it's imperceptable. And yes, it actually does to take a lot of ...
I think it depends on what she means by eliminate. Stuttering can be eliminated bhmy managing it (if it's mild mostly) but it takes a lot of effort. You have to change the way that you speak, and it o...

My experience with a speech program and how you might benefit like me I won't be surprised if this gets taken down but this forum is the place I found this information and it changed my life and I wou...

Reading in class w/ a stutter
Reading in class w/ a stutter I had to read a page of grapes of wrath in front of my class today. It wasn’t a bad stuttering day so I was chill about it. But then I start reading and it’s like every s...
I'm not sure there is anything that is 'most effective.' It's a program. A ladder, if you will. *I believe the therapist is an integral part of the process.* I'll run through a thousand foot view, but...
It will not go away. But you can definitely learn to control it. I'm not saying it'll be perfect, but you can manage your fluency to a very functional degree. Source: am an adult who stutters. Nobod...
Music definitely helped me! Played clarinet all my life and the breathing lessons that come with it and also posture and air control really help Not with stuttering itself but now I don't die of asph...
It’s pretty much focusing on your breathing as you speak. Sometimes we try to force ourselves through a sentence or a word we are going to stutter on and end up out of breath and without rhythm in our...
I can say that this advice you’ve given is correct as I tried something similar (point 1 and 3) in my own style. Perhaps the most important one is the relaxation element. For this I walked slow, made...
1. Try tilting your head sideways and then speaking. 2. Act a bit high or drunk or sleepy (I never drank alcohol) to feel more relaxed. 3. Tighten your fists then release. Then start reading....

Genuinely helpful advice I got from a ~70 year Stutterer A few years back, I was taking private trumpet lessons at University, and I got some advice from my instructor that has honestly been the only ...
I’ve used a DAF. Wicked weird at first but it did help my fluency. I made me think I was speaking with other people...
I'm 17 and I know what you are going through. Presentations are very hard for me as well. I do have some tips that I find useful, and I hope you do as well: - Be calm. This is easier said than done, ...
