I have a toddler and started reading books to her every night when she was just a few months old. I was stuttering when first reading to her, probably a combination of horrible past reading out-loud e...

You can try what I call the 'King's Speech' method: say "a" right before the M-word starts. > [relevant](https://youtu.be/AHY2UzOonig?t=50s) (there's a part in the movie where the speech therapis...

I have the same issue sometimes. Not sure if this will work for you too, but if I can remember to do this in the actual event of me getting caught on an m at the beginning of the word, this helps me...

There are a few approaches that might help. You could look up soft contacts (aka light articulatory contacts). Another approach that I find helpful is prolonged speech”. I used to fixate a lot on par...

It's super cheating and probably takes a little practice, but if you're having an in-person conversation and your audience is looking at you, you can try to just mouth the M sound (essentially just op...

I have a lot trouble with “s,” “ch,” among other sounds. I have always tried to avoid any words with those sounds but it is not always possible. I find that if I speak in an lower tone of voice it is ...

Light touches. When you say words that start with "m", barely press your lips together. Do not emphasize the "m" sound, just barely press your lips together, just hard enough that your lips touch. On...

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilycovolcanconiosis Anecdotal: I actually spent weeks learning how to memorize and say this word when I was a kid and maybe exercises like that helped me overcome my child...

I've never heard of such a program, my therapist generally told me to practice speaking slowly as opposed to on a beat. But if you find the program please lmk, I bet it's helpful....

My speech therapist told me to go 'soft' on the sounds you stutter with - it's practical but you tend to forget about doing it in a real conversation. If you can get it down though my guy I bet it wor...

At school and college I have always managed to escape from presentations . But at work I had to give presentations almost other week to a group of 5 to 20 people . One thing that worked for me is 1....

Speech timer/analyzer Hey guys, I remember from my speech therapy sessions a long time ago that there was this program that would see how long I said something (2 beats per syllable) and other things...

Tried to time my breathing right as they got to me so I would flow better, its kinda like controlling a time bomb, are you gonna let it blow you up or will you defuse it?...

It was... okay. I totally went off script compared to my notes, and I unsurprisingly was a LOT more fluent during the Q&A section. No one died of embarrassment so that's pretty good for us...

I tried this with someone who I met and it worked out great! I found some friends who seem genuinely interested in what i have to say for which i am very grateful. One of them even has a severely stut...

I just watched some youtube videos. Definitely helps to speak louder to. People can finally hear me when I order food lmao I also watched some military drill sergeants yelling and...yelled with them....

Some say breath from the diaphragm, like a singer. Some say talk on the exhale. My uncle tells me to stretch vowel sounds. All of this planning before every sentence can't be good for an anxious pers...

Sorry for the long delay in responding. I believe that prolonged speech has the best evidence base of adult stuttering therapies. I have been learning this approach recently and am finding it helpful....

Really?!! Damn reading aloud is the worst for me!! You can also keep it in mind & accept future opportunities for what they are not how you are going to sound. (I should really take my own advice!...

I feel like some of the speech tools they teach me are very easy to practice in therapy. But then I get outside and the same tools are nearly impossible to use. Good point, I'm learning that a large ...
