Probably not the blockage affects the breathing, but the breathing causes the blockage. Probaby you try to tell everything in one breath but noone tries to talk like that. Or you just want to tell eve...

What works for me is abdominal breathing (for example 10-20 minutes just laying on my back 1 hand on the belly and the other one on the chest and breathing only with the diaphragm - hand on belly go...

Yes! I've stuttered all my life (35 now) and it always gets worse when I'm under a lot of stress. What usually helps my speech become more fluent is exercise and taking deep breaths before speaking....

You are on the right page sir. Try this for me. Read aloud, preferably in the morning, for at least an hour. Read everything during the day out loud if you can, just loud enough so you can hear yourse...

Do you remember which strategies helped with your stutter as a child? Deep breathing? Stretchy speech? Light articulatory touch? Etc. Keeping a journal of what causes your stuttering (who you talked ...

Thanks. I will try repeating what actors say. I read about another technique on here, reading for an hour out loud each day. I am going to give that a go as well....

First off, since you aren't having much issues on a day to day basis try to understand what has changed. Maybe you just need more physical exercise, or even different headphones (fun fact, but people ...

Gotcha. When I started diaphragmatic breathing, something that helped me do it correctly was when my therapist told me to focus on my stomach, and think of it as a balloon. When you breathe in, push ...

Thank you for this tip! The incident with my principal happened at the beginning of the school year, which was before I started speech therapy (school year started in september, and I started speech t...

Try this with your speech therapy and see how it works. Since you are a teacher, I am sure that you read a lot. If you read aloud without stuttering, read to yourself for at least one hour a day. Try ...

Yes. It sounds like your speech therapist is asking you to use the diaphragmatic breathing and passive airflow techniques. I have been practicing both of those techniques for speech therapy, under the...

It's not irreversible. Any therapy that focuses on fluency and/or teaches you to control inevitably kills spontaneity. If you want to be spontaneous you need to learn to speak spontaneously irrespect...

You have good days and bad days on every aspect of life. Try this every morning. If you can read out loud fluently, this will help you. Read out loud every day, normally when you get up in the morning...

Try this. Read out loud one hour a day for a week for 2 weeks. Hear yourself speak with fluency. Tell me after 2 weeks if your speech has improved or not?...

True! I was taught a breathing exercise and it helped me not stutter as often but it was still unnatural and I’m getting more weird looks as ever🙁 stuttering really sucks!!!!...

I think it's because of the increased focus on trying to not stutter. Breathing exercises are at best useless and at worst adding more unnaturalness to how you speak....

You didn't ask for any help, so I apologize in advance if this is not welcome, but I want to share my experience with "m" words. Whenever I have trouble with this or similar constant (like N), I take...

In a situation like this, I'm humming before I speak (as if I'm thinking about my words), then link my words together and talk in short bursts....

That seems like a really good strategy, giving some rythm to your speaking could be a great way to "sing" without really singing...

It's also a good technique to whisper a hard word before you actually say it. In that way, it's much easier to say it in a louder voice after. And because of the mask, you listeners won't see your mou...
