Found a new way to stop my stutter
Found a new way to stop my stutter So just right now, LITERALLY, I was looking at all these posts and I was reading them all out loud because I read a post that said if you read more it can help.I got...
It didn't help me at all, since reading outloud by yourself and speaking to others aren't the same things. However I do know of people that improved their speech through it. ...
I'm currently undergoing speech therapy, and one of the things I was told to do was to read out loud but I have to focus on exaggerated slow speech, deep breaths and word pronunciation. After 6 weeks...
Does reading aloud on a consistent basis contribute to decreased stuttering occurrences?
Does reading aloud on a consistent basis contribute to decreased stuttering occurrences? Does anyone know how well reading aloud works to subside stuttering? I recall attempting this strategy a couple...
Hmmm....it's hard to point out specifically. Could be the confidence or it could be the few techniques I developed. Those techniques I use on a daily basis but I constantly evolve and change them a...
Ehh. Somewhat. I learned a few tricks that I still use today. Didn't really make me naturally fluent per se....
I was going to recommend reading out loud as a way to practice speaking with proper grammar, but it sounds like you already do that. I've found it helps to make sure I'm "thinking out loud" when I ta...
Yeah, it's not so easy. AND you were starting a new job. >I do hope the feeling goes away It will it will. This was just the first day! It will get better. I know that it will kind of be li...
"hi, before we start I wanted to let you know I have a stutter. You'll probably hear it on occasion. If you have any questions please feel free to ask any time." The second sentence is optional or y...
That's the problem, I'm more uncomfortable telling people I stutter. I may get used to it after a while but for the first one I'm a bit nervous to approach it. From experience, when someone brings up...
For me personally no. I'm quite cynical so taking a breath every syllable doesnt seem very sustainable for me. But for other people it's worked wonders I'm sure. I think Garreth Gates uses a similar t...
When I say techniques I'm referring to all the different types of speech therapy that I've been taught. I went on something called the starfish project where they tie a belt around your chest and ask ...
Stutter can vary from one moment to the next, I find. Over time, tendencies can appear and be either short or long. It's fickle! ;) You mention "techniques". What's that about?...
Yea, i agree. This is what the valsalva technique is based on if youve ever heard of that. I wonder if anyone knows about any excercises you could do or pills you could take that will help relax your...
Do note that I'm using a whole bunch of may's up there. I'm also writing "compensation", not "secondary symptom". I'm not saying breathing is irrelevant (I remember doing some breathing exercises wit...
i'm sorry but this statement is highly inaccurate. most speech therapists will agree that pressure in the abdomen/lower diaphragm area is one of the main triggers for (severe) blocks, it is not a seco...
This is very true, a lot of people tell you to take a breath before speaking and this is actually bad advice for most 'blockers' The reason is that your lungs are always sort of floating around 60-70...
You're right, I unwillingly mixed things up. Being able to control your speech rate is one step towards more fluent speech; being told to speak more slowly when one is stuttering has the opposite effe...
I disagree. Come on, it's one part of taking control over your speaking. Being conscious of every word your saying, and conscious of every breath your take (falls under the umbrella of slow-rated spee...
I had a speech therapy session today
I had a speech therapy session today I am trying speech therapy again. The last time I tried it seven years ago it ended badly. Chalk it up to lack of maturity and drive to really do well but now I am...
