Had a small win yesterday at work!

Had a small win yesterday at work! Might be long, sorry in advance. Tldr at bottom. Been stuttering for about 15 years now. It comes and goes, but it's mostly tied to my anxiety disorder, and can get...

I think that the more you just do it, the easier it gets. You don't spend energy on it, and it will get more fluent over time. Yes, it will be weird and odd at first. Until you have gotten used to it...

There is no cure for stuttering but what I did for presentations was make my presentation two weeks in advance and I would just rehearse alone at first. After that I would present to families and frie...

This is going to sound silly but I have various fluency techniques I acquired over the years. They are strong when practicing them to myself. When I step out into the world though, in public, I feel a...

I don't like it. But i just don't fucking care anymore. I'm learning my third language now (spanish) because I actually like speaking. It's like hard mode for me, but I'm still good at it. Although my...

Fluency is a skill which can be developed. I'd do research on various techniques and improve that skill. I find that taking steps to beat a problem is a self-fulfilling prophecy. See it as something t...

Talking slower can have an effect. however, people who are not trained speech therapists or other stutters should not be telling stutterers that. We know our speech and our speech patterns, we know ho...

There's 3 different core behaviours of stuttering: repetitions, blocking, and prolongation. OP exhibits prolongation. Instead of repeating sounds, or not being able to get sounds out, OP prolongs the ...

King George VI employed a method akin to that. If you listen to his speeches, you will notice the slightly singing voice. :) ​ Not everyone wants to talk like that, though (myself include...

There's a singer who kinda cheats around her stutter in interviews by doing an "interview" voice that's essentially the same accent, just more deliberate and enunciated. I feel like at the end of the ...

Hey, fellow stutterer here, though I admit mine is mild. I've been someone who had to answer phones, give announcements, and all that jazz. I do it regularly. Do you find you can be fluent when ta...

How did taking COM100 impact your stutter ?

How did taking COM100 impact your stutter ? Hey, I'm going to be an incoming freshman for college and I am required to take Communication 100. I wanted to know if the classes improved your speech or m...

I was the first full mark on a presentation he's given in 40 years of teaching.

I was the first full mark on a presentation he's given in 40 years of teaching. BEST. PRESENTATION. EVER. ​ So we had this presentation that is required for graduation, and we've been pr...

I performed a poem AGAIN

I performed a poem AGAIN My stutter has been getting a lot worse in the last months :/ but this didn't stop me from performing a poem at a small school event. There were at least 70 people there and t...

Is it possible that you're speaking too fast for your mind to catch up with your speech? Try to be deliberate & remember to breath. A friend of mine did Pranayama & he claims it has helped him...

Whenever I feel like I’m about to hit a block, I tend to slow down my speech dramatically. I imagine myself reading a book to a child and purposely exaggerating each words. Its kind of like a reset bu...

What I did that dramatically decreased my stutter was I took a big breath between each sentence I was about to say. I would block on certain words like “Apple” so in order to not block on the word whe...

It helped me. Didn't fix it, but I got some tips and learned some tricks. The one exercise which had the biggest effect was to go somewhere alone and read out loud very slowly to myself. Ridiculously ...

For B, try starting a word with the “mmm” sound almost like you’re humming. Instead of saying “boy” say “mmboy”. Soon you’ll get better at using this and only have to make the humming noise for a spli...

A lot of what I say starts as a sound/a complete block. Just air coming out and a mouth noise lol. Something i've been practicing with my speech therapist is "light contact". Basically just trying to ...
