This works for me! And taking a deep breath and letting the air out as I’m saying “my name is...”...

Have you tried using a phrase before it to see if that helps you get it out? Like “my name is...”...

Also, you take all that stress and put it in your speech mechanism which leads to poor breathing, tensed up vocal chords, facial muscles, jaw and lip. As a result of doing this for many years, your sp...

Great other posts so far! My case sounds pretty similar to yours-- bad periods, good periods, and a name that's usually pretty tough. What I've found to work relatively consistently is saying my nam...

Easy onset is a common technique taught in speech therapy. The basic idea is that you start the sound with just simple airflow and ease into the sound. I'm sure there are videos that demonstrate it ...

> easy onset for the "hard" sounds. what does this mean? i know what you mean by "hard" (those sounds that i have trouble with), but not sure what you mean by easy onset...

This one you can do with a close friend. Have them sit there and pretty much act as a person in the room. It’s pretty simple. You close your eyes and say the first thing you see when you open your eye...

Personally I’ve just recently starting using a couple strategies. The first strategy is called the hand release. (Made up the name, any name suggestions would be great). The way it works is that it ac...

Lowering my anxiety / stress is the single biggest factor for my fluency. Aside from that I use the typical fluency techniques such as slowing down, taking a breath before speaking and easy onset for ...

I used a couple of strategies for this. The first one was the hand technique. When you’re getting a block or feel like you’re getting one, put your hand on side of your leg. Then use your thumb as a “...

A great day

A great day Today started out as any other day. Went to work, had some blocks but overall it was an alright day. I was stressed overall about looking for a job with a stutter.. stuff like that. Afte...

19M here. Same issue. I have been getting therapy for a year, reading very slowly, like very very slowly, only 3-4 words per 10 seconds, in front of a mirror. I do this drill everyday, for the past co...

hey i know how you feel and what you are going through ! i have the exact same problems, but if you can speak perfectly fine alone then there is room for you to get better and improve your stuttering ...

I recommend practicing that phrase in the mirror everyday and you will eventually stop stuttering when saying it...

Hello. Sorry for the late reply! Yes, I totally recommend Never Stutter Again by John Isaac. It's very effective....

In retail or other sales jobs especially on the phone, you can work on changing the tone and inflection of your voice. So while you may call your friend and just say in a monotone “hey, it’s Pete “...

Hi man. Someone with a severe chronic stutter here. Try to read a aloud, slowly over a mirror, prolonging the vowels and try whispering too. I would recommend both exercises atleast 25 mins a day for...

Yeah as cliche as it sounds when people tell you to simply “slow down” or “take a deep breath” that usually helps out a lot at least for me but despite this I’ll consistently forget to use my speech t...

PleaSe don’t kill yourself... Please!!! It’s never the answer! I used to stutter a lot in high school. One day, I read something about Demosthenes who was a horrible speaker but by working hard became...
