I've found that if I don't focus on what I'm saying, I don't stutter as much.

I've found that if I don't focus on what I'm saying, I don't stutter as much. Far too many speech therapists say to focus on how you say a word, but in my case, not focusing on how I talked helped me ...

Gently and slowly say words that begin with vowels. Ex: apples say aaaaaaapples (slowly getting louder as you say the a sound) (searching "gentle onset" may help) Also breathe in deeply and begin to...

You hit the nail on the head sir. I learned a new way of speaking through the mcguire programme. It uses costal muscles rather than your diaphragm for speaking and I've ultimately been creating a new ...

> To that end, find a speech therapist, practice techniques, practice breathing, and keep talking. Our stutter doesn't control us, that's bullshit. We control it, we control how we respond to it. I...

Bill Parry also writes about the tightness of the throat and larynx as a cause of stuttering in his book Understanding and Controlling Stuttering. If these exercises can loosen up this area a little...

He has more embarrassing videos, too, for example when he's lying on his back and kicking and screaming like a small child. :D But I've tried the techniques he demonstrates in this video and they give...

I'm 32. When I was 17, I got a job working rides at Six Flags. I was working in a position where I was forced to talk to thousands of people a day. Eventually, I was promoted to the position that sp...

My mother always told me to read Edgar Allen Poe aloud, and that if I did that every night I would stop stuttering. I've never actually tried that, but I don't think it could be that simple. Exercises...

Yeaa.. Presentations fucking blow, but your appearance dictates how your class will perceive you. Be confident, dress to a T, and smile. Don't think about what will happen when you stutter, try and co...

Practice, practice, practice, practice. Whenever I need to do a presentation or a speech, I literally practice it until I know it by heart, then I do it some more. At least in my experience, by know...

Here's things I've said purely out of feeling: "I appreciate it", "i'm grateful for this", "cheers". All of which are acceptable. One piece of advice, slowly ease out the sound of "th" when you ex...

Practice those words, the more you avoid them the worse they get for you. Use the phone, ask for something, then say thankyou and hangup. Practicing these types of words have helped me in the past, ...

I'll often just give a smile and a nod if I can't get it out. You could try "cheers" instead of "thanks"...
