A tip that’s been pretty successful for me when I remember to do it is to start exhaling before you start speaking. So you get the airflow going and that makes the word onsets easier, if that makes se...
I'm a little hesitant to make suggestions I learned in speech therapy. These techniques are best learned under the guidance of a professional. Which I am not. One technique I learned in speech therap...
I'd even go as far as trying to "slur" the letters a bit - anything to keep the air flowing and vocal folds moving through the hard stops between letters....
There's no absolute cure, but here's what has made my stutter a lot more manageable (from the perspective of 20 year old who doesn't have access to speech therapy, but has had a stutter all their life...
Its worth it, and it helps for a while. Whenever I stutter I forget the stuff that helps, but if I remember it, I can easily make it through a conversation without a stutter....
I would see about any psychologists who use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). You also might look into fluency shaping, which is a technique some slps use....
Very much so. I look at stuttering as a bad habit, made worse by anxiety. Speech Therapy gave me techniques to break the habit. Applied to those moments of anxiety. Most people these days don't consid...
You get out of it what you put into it. You can achieve all-day / everyday fluency. I was a severe stutterer for the first 25 years of my life. Today it takes new people I meet and work with months to...
I was born with it and am 22 now. Through speech therapy and putting myself out there I’ve been able to get really good at prolongations so my stutter is pretty mild. However I still get stuck on bloc...
I did, but I had to work at it and still work to maintain my fluency. Also, for me at least “fluency” means that I am able to communicate well with others in my personal and professional life. I still...
Yes it is, I did. Moderate stutter through childhood and young adulthood. Now in my 30s I am fluent. I used speech therapy, practicing in tough situations (phone calls, etc), and self care like getti...
Always, but always mimic what you are saying with your lips... Some of us who stutter just dont mimic what we are saying, almost as our lips are close to being stationary, if you get used to it, talki...
This method really works if the conversation is sudden, do not stutter, but if the speech is arranged, the stuttering begins...
I had something similar in primary school Some tactics I used: - move your hands while you talk, so that you can't think as fast - practice reading aloud *slowly* (you can do it alone, to your pets, ...
I did this as a kid because people would interupt me or stop listening to me if i stuttered too much. As a result i started stuttering more and became breathless. It has helped me to try to breath pro...
It will probably take more than 3 months. This is a complicated issue. You want to make what you are doing while you practice in the moment become a habit which trust me, takes a lot of time. I would ...
I've been teaching for over 10 years now, and still stutter on my last name whenever I have to make a phone call home. Nothing quite like that to start off a phone call. I really have to remember to u...
One technique I use is to try and go first. The built up anxiety as I wait for my turn is will make me less fluent. Going first and setting the time makes me feel like I’m in control. Colleagues and c...
No, I’m used to vocal warm ups and stuff. This was specifically for me, to help my speech. No one else got on the floor, legs in the air, and went *aaaaaaaaaaaaaah* with my mouth wide open....
I did acting a bit in high school. We always did weird exercises like breathing and shouting in front of everyone. Because acting is by nature such an awkward activity we were taught to remove any soc...
