I was thinking that if certain inflections change how much the vocal folds open, you could manipulate your speech with more inflections in order to be more fluent...

A lot of speech techniques, including speaking slowly, concentrating on my tongue's moves (it threw stuttering away for one day) or concentrating on my blocks and ease them, beathing with diaphragm, m...

Yeah, that's quite normal. It's different for everyone and it usually changes over time as well. That being said, if you know that you are doing it, you can train yourself not to do it....

I don't think it's fruitful to do that kind of math. You may be able to turn it around slightly more positively in interpreting it as (heightened) awareness of the unexpected, so to say. But I'm not ...

You can either change the word or drop the first letter of the word. Like if I had to say “apple” but knew I was gonna stutter at “a-a-apple” I would say “pull” fast. If you do it fast enough In regul...

Yes it helped me a great deal get more fluent when I was younger. And I still do it when I have rough days. It helps me to reinforce the “fluent” part of my brain. Do you stutter when you say a sing...
