The stuttering literature has been reporting since the 1930's that people who stutter are more fluent when they are alone. But there has been some variation in the fluency levels when alone - some st...

Homie I over pronunciate and talk with my hands.. Almost kind of dramatic in a way.. IT IS SO HELPFUL.. Sometimes I aim for like a melodic tone like rhythmic without sounding corny.. Yo I really flour...

Yup, exactly. For me it was weightlifting. Building my body is the best thing I ever did for my stutter....

I also feel you on that. I became a professional wrestler 15 years ago. Talk about getting over a hump to talk in front of a live crowd. It helped force me to find ways around it. I still struggle, bu...

I agree. Even if there is no anxiety or pressure in my family, my stuttering can fluctuate every minute/hour, which means it can be primary symptoms. I can only experience temporary fluidity with any ...

Hi sorry, only saw your question now! It's New Leaf and it's thiamine hydrochloride 100mg tabs, so slightly inconvenient if you want higher doses. I think I tried the Solgar 500mg when I first started...

I’m not looking for jobs because of my age 78f but I’m 100% fluent on the phone and even in person as long as the topic is stuttering! It’s as puzzling as your situation because we know it’s possible...

neurodivergent - neurological differences. Your brain probably thinks fast then you speak. Breathing and exercise and health supplements can calm the brain down. Your stutter is not the bad and probab...

Great question. It’s a prosodic thing. When PWS are speaking alone, to pets, to babies, in unison with others, singing, faking an accent, in rhythm, in rhyme, prolonging vowels, etc., they are unknowi...

Have you ever noticed that we often speak fluently when we're alone? Could there be something about that we could use to help with stuttering remission, and what do you think it might be?

Have you ever noticed that we often speak fluently when we're alone? Could there be something about that we could use to help with stuttering remission, and what do you think it might be? As I mention...

I'm glad — The opinions seem mixed, but as long as no one talks about it, I guess it's that. And no, no, I just talk like this, though it did seemingly get a bit worse at age 10 ish or so. Sometimes i...

It’s like the same thing as singing or (for me anyway) presenting. Talking with a different enunciation and cadence dodges the stutter...

I never got checked for anxiety but I wouldn’t be surprised if have it, my family says my grandma has undiagnosed anxiety and that old lady is an anxious wreck as she ages. I can get the genes from he...

Good idea. I’m all in although I stutter very seldom when I’m trying to demonstrate my disfluency! So weird. Even trying to be taken seriously by my physicians requires a recording. I can be in full P...

Changes in prosody often improve fluency. Lots of ways to change prosody that include accents, singing, rhythm, whispering, prolonging vowels, inflection, and more....

Stuttering happens when the vocal folds close abnormally. When whispering, you are not vibrating the vocal folds, thus they have no reason to close. Since they are not closing, stuttering is not an is...

Whispering. Interesting about whispering and deep voice. I haven’t thought of that. In my case I believe that it’s rate of speech and how deliberate I am. This is true about the phone for sure where ...

Many actors who stutter alter their voices slightly for roles, so this checks out. Singing also incorporate stuttering for me....

I can relate. I also stutter less when I shout. In addition I've found out I stutter less when speaking with an accent. No stuttering when singing, so I think strong accent is like halfway there. I ...

I noticed I stutter less when I speak with a deep voice. Same with whispering.

I noticed I stutter less when I speak with a deep voice. Same with whispering. While whispering my chances of stuttering are close to 0...
