All's good mate! I don't know if it will help you. It is a step in the right direction. Don't expect miracles, expect tools to help you....

talking is a skill, and like all skills you can sharpen it. Sure you cant get rid of it just by taking alone, its more to do with your thinking. But either way it does help. There are talking techniqu...

I think I get what you are saying. But I also think that what you describe is very similar to the skills of sport or playing a musical instrument etc. There is only one common denominator, perfect pra...

I also experience that hyperawareness you talked about. Not just with speech, but with social anxiety too. A technique to deal with that is instead of trying to not be aware (which is impossible), shi...

I get what you mean about the force of will and bag of tricks. Thanks to that, a lot of people don't notice that I stutter until I tell them. A lot of times, a special situation triggers my stutter. L...

I can understand that, interviews can be crushing sometimes. Aside from my ability to be flawless for 10-15 minutes straight (force of will + bag of tricks), they can be tough to do. One of my tricks,...

I can talk perfectly fine for 10-15 minutes per shot, but I can't do it for longer than that. My stammer starts seeping through and then becomes like a snowball effect. I do it by using my bag of tric...

I have a boat load of tricks, and I also do it by shear force of will (years of experience). One of my tricks, might help you, it's very basic. Read a paragraph, notice where you stammer. Then re-read...

Yes, before I speak with her I did some warm up exercises with the neck and mouth muscles and tried to pronounce some specific words. I tried to make the exercises outside of therapy but after when I ...

I found a hack!!

I found a hack!! Hello my dear fellow stutterers, I'm 25F and I stutter since I'm 7 or 8. My stutter goes from mild to somewhat severe, and since I got home back from abroad and started speaking in my...

What books? Techniques often teach unnatural ways of speaking in an effort to control speech. That reinforces the idea that stuttering is bad and is something to control. It also reinforces the false ...

Cool idea! Thought I'd mention that I built a web app not long ago with a slightly different angle, it's meant to be a tool that PWS can use to practice fluency techniques -- [https://randomlyread.com...

Hey even i thought of making a app, something like this but more of a goal app, so daily you get a set of challenges and exercises to do. Like the challenges start easy, ask from 3 random strangers th...

I’m a speech-language pathologist, and his disfluency could be environmental and resolve itself once things go back to “normal,” or it could be developmental (his age and gender are most common in dev...

I'm looking to create an app for the stuttering community, please help with my research Hi, I'm from Melbourne, Australia and I'm a woman who stutters. Due to the current pandemic and shut down, I wan...

I don't mean that you have to do the entire process in a conversation lol. The technique described above is meant for words you have difficult with. Basically you're supposed to practice stuttering on...

Not Really, But i do sing a lot which i’ve heard helps with stutters and such! I take my time when my severe stutter gets worse and i let the people around me know that it’s bad so we can work around ...

Try not to give up on presentations, for me taking anxiety pills before presenting makes things better. The only way to accept yourself and gain confidence is through exposure. I totally get that you...

Thank you so much for the positivity and for the motivation my friend!! You're 100% right, practice is key! I'm guilty of thinking speech practice makes no big difference, until I tried it....
