Np! I just had a thought - are you familiar with Delayed Auditory Feedback https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_Auditory_Feedback#Effects_in_normal_speakers ? Imo I don't think it should be used as...

You can change the name to whatever you want. However, as a fellow stutterer, it might be good practice to get fluent in these words. Just a thought. ...

I used to have a terrible time on the phone (and still do to some extent) but the past year I've really been practicing by calling and talking to scammers on the phone. I noticed I can kinda put mysel...

It was a pretty big surprise to me, to be honest. I was at a good 'level' with the booze at that point but I have also been experimenting with changing the tone of my voice. Lowering the octave a lit...

Yup! 1) All of those letters are consonants, so it seems like you are trying to emphasize those letters too much, you're causing tension which is making you block. So, you should try light touches/e...

Sometimes adding a soft "m" to the beginning of a word you know will be tough to get through helps. If you do it enough it becomes almost unnoticeable. Providing "M" isn't an issue for you....

>\> (Excessively long blocks). I had the same problem \- it's really debilitating. Blocks are the worst kind of stuttering, and long blocks are my own personal hell. Have you tried intensive s...

Fair. I was too young to really know what was going on. I found out later that it was my 8th grade teacher that advocated for me to get speech therapy, and more or less it was just sitting down and ...

What kind of therapy have you tried, and for how long? It took me about 2 years of weekly therapy to become fluent. I still have blocks, but it has changed from excessively long blocks on m's and r'...

Short of being able to replace words, saying “horder”, as previously suggested, is what I learned in therapy also. You might also try joining “your” and “order” together — no one would notice if you...

Two options, soft onset’s as someone else has mentioned or stop, empty your lungs, take a deep breath and say the sound as assertively as you can. Think of Thor and his hammer. ...

These are my strategies. 1. Use a "filler" word and link the word with the blocking sound to the fillers last sound \- like they were one word 2. Replace the word with a different one \- stutterers m...

Some small thing that helps out sometimes is to write the letter I’m stuck on with my finger on the table, my leg or whatever...

I think that really depends on how exactly it manifests (which is both a question of the stutterer and the situation). I tend to push through, but sometimes that doesn't work, and the more severe the ...

It's more like, if i focus on the next sound I tend to become able to make the current sound to get there....

Easy Onset - (Also 'gentle onset', 'soft onset', 'easy starts'): Exaggerating the the initial sound of a word or syllable so as to stretch them from silence/softness to a normal speaking volume. Usual...

Soon as I encounter a block I stop thinking about that sound and immediately imagine, and begin producing, the sound of the next phoneme in the word. Works sometimes....

This bothers me. Because I've seen quite some people say stuff like this without being able to back it up at all. > For most people it's a breathing issue How do you know it's "for most people"?...

> One of the instructors is a former stutterer and he’s as fluent as you like now. I mean... yeah. No one's going to pay into a program with a stutterer selling a stutter cure. So that doesn't sa...

There are plenty of fish in the sea bro don't sweat the small things!! Also try reading books out loud it has helped me with my stutter.....
