I'm practicing reading aloud and affirmations and sometimes I find myself talking so fluently, it's like I'm not even talking, but words just leave my mouth effortlessly and automatically. And that's ...

There are some things you can do that have worked for me. Your mileage may vary, of course. For tips: Speak at a reduced rate (don't worry it only sounds weird to you); read out loud; speak more ofte...

If I had to guess, I'd say that the reason using an accent works is that it focuses the brain on saying something in a certain way instead of focusing on not messing the entire phrase with the stutter...

"Breaking the ice" is a great way. Another word similar to that is vulnerability. Vulnerability is huge when it comes to overcoming your stutter. Being the one to open up first, to disclose first, t...

My only advice is that if you want to stop stuttering, at least in my case, there were no tricks. It took me a lot of hard work and battling my own mind that was trying to keep me stuttering. There is...

I see, were you reading out loud alone or was someone listening to you? I'm curious about how this would affect specific people like us since no two stutters are the same. Thanks for the input!...
