I had this sometimes like I nearly try to shout out the word to break the blockage. I learned the best way to talk is to breath and take your time, most people will wait...
I'll try that semi silent trick I haven't heard of that one before. I appreciate the kind feedback I'm sure hoping so!...
Push your bottom jaw forward as you say the sound. It makes you say the sound in a different mechanical way. It's not natural but it breaks my repetitive cycle when I get stuck...
I agree with the other comments here. Just try different techniques and see which one works for you. This can include breathing and then saying the first sound as you breathe out, putting a semi-silen...
Hi!! I just recently received speech therapy for the first time in my life. I’m 58. The best advice and help I got was to breathe into my first word of a sentence. It helps unblock the airway which is...
You too! It really is just the beginning. I find that really over-pronouncing words helps me (I know we’re all different). I’d sound weird casually, but in an office environment I just sound like I’m ...
It might not carry over completely, but in my opinion, it's not a bad way to practice to speak SLOWLY. It might not be activating those same areas in your brain, but you can teach yourself how to spea...
I just wanted to say that a lot of how you may lessen your stutter or try to work on your stutter really depends on your personal experience with stuttering. Everyone is different, and everyone will h...
I think with time and a lot of hard work it’s definitely possible, start reading books about stuttering, get a Speech Pathologist, and completely break down and reconstruct your speech. Some books I...

That's exactly what my speech therapist told me but then on the other hand, she showed me these "tricks" :/ but anyway, I'll try my best to "confront" the sounds...
For W’s my speech therapist back in highschool told me to blow before I say the word. For example, the word is “work”. *blow*-ork...
Thanks for the tips!! I always find it hard to breath when I stutter....
For me when doing W's I've found it helpful to give it a little breath like you're doing an h sound before the word. Like "hWork" but not so hard that you sound like Stewie saying "Cool Whip". Not su...
Wow we've got the same problem. This is what my speech therapist told me: you know that "ah" sound you make when you whisper the A? So you basically have to do that to "slip" into the word. It sounds ...
Some techniques that really help me
Some techniques that really help me I sometimes forget to use them, but small techniques that really help me: \- Stomach breathing, as opposed to chest breathing--this really made a difference for me...
Thanks :D I actually think my speech therapist told me this exact trick when I was I think 8 years old? So I completely forgot until now...
A trick that isn’t a solve all but has helped me is where you press your tongue to the top of your mouth silently just before saying a word, the tongue press acts like a first syllable to a word, whic...
