YOU CAN DO IT!

YOU CAN DO IT! I want to open up about something - something that happens regularly. Some PWS will watch my videos; see that I've overcome my stutter and ask me if they'll be able to overcome theirs. ...

Thanks for the advise i guess i really should try to practice my speaking ability, i thought of reading books aloud when i'm home alone....

Hey thanks for the advice. I will give that a go next time I have to do a presentation. I actually find if its more impromptu and I dont use palm cards that I stutter less too. Best of luck to you too...

A good way to practice is by reading out loud while using the DAF (delayed auditory feedback) machine. This used to be a $500+ machine, but now you can download it onto your smart phone for like $10. ...

Speech therapy is for all ages, really. It's not a kids thing. Maybe you can find someone anyway? "Deal with", as indicated above, could mean a bunch of things, depending on how you want to go about ...

Focus on content, not speech. When you're coming up to speak be present about the content, not the stutter. That's what i've found works best for me....

The presentation went well, thank you! I did a whole ritual to prepare the day before and the morning before it, and there were no big issues(except the dry mouth, ugh). ...

Speech therapy could help. I'm a mild/situational stutterer too. Drinks not a problem for me, but maybe losing some control over your faculties through alcohol could be making your stuttering worse. P...

Adding to the other suggestions: 1. If you find yourself getting stuck while trying to say a word then stop. Relax, take a deep breath or something. Rewind and start again. 2. Don't just speak with...

In my case, my stutter gets worse if I keep thinking about what i'm about to say before I say it. Perhaps to try not to over think it on the wedding day. Also taking it slower than normal would help t...

Practice, practice, practice. Say it out loud in front of the mirror, to your best man, to your dog. Write it down from memory. Just keep practicing. Stuttering happens, being prepared and knowing wha...

Congratulations to you. If you don't have a very severe stutter I would recommend taking your time, and practice breathing exercises leading up to the day. It'll be just the two of you up there so foc...

The struggle is real. We all know it. Fortunately, we live in a time where we can mitigate a lot of our weakness through the use of computers. Texts, email, posts on Reddit. Try to focus on productive...

Stuttering and phone calls

Stuttering and phone calls One recurring topic that I see being discussed over and over - phone calls. Especially what to do if you're trying to make phone calls with a stutter. Before I go into thi...

Unknowingly adopting certain techniques like breathing and relaxing my vocal chords when I feel a block....

Try them out one by one and see what works for you. They're techniques, not cures. Even the best ones will fail, and you should try to be ready to switch up your strategy on the fly for when you're ba...

It has absolutely effected my life and still does. I’ve always had a pretty stoic personality, so the teasing and the anxiety that often goes with stuttering didn’t bring my success to a grinding halt...

Stuff which might help.. 1. I know C/K is formed by your articulators (what happens in your mouth), but try to get the sound of C + whatever vowel follows into your chest, so that you can feel the v...

It has always been the other way for me. I almost never stutter when talking out loud to myself. But I always read silently. To me that seems to be more effective than reading aloud. What problem do y...

Hi there, I'm a moderator here and I've noticed that you have been a very relevant part of the "negativity" expressed on here. But I will disregard that for now. What you need to understand is that t...
