Slow down. When you're learning guitar you don't start off learning stuff fast. Go slow and speed up when you can. Might be a weird analogy but whatever. Congrats on reaching out to someone at such a ...

You have to make a conscious habit of breaking up your sentences into a few words. Then, as your speaking, align your words with your breathing pattern. Deeper breathing will help you speak slowly. Gi...

This is why you shouldn't hook on those speech managing techniques, it'll move you far away from how natural speech should be like. We become fluent not by controlling but by letting go and letting ou...

Make it a habit to talk slow. Seriously, if you're not going to consciously force yourself to talk slowly, you will always fall back into talking too fast. I learned this the hard way. It's exhausting...

Practice reading out loud slowly. Taking a big breath before you speak and releasing the air once you're finished. Concentrate on the sounds and how they are produced in your mouth. When you're readi...

When I slow down to try to talk without stuttering, I end up talking really slow and fucked up and stutter even more. Sometimes when I get lucky, the thought will just smoothly come out as a sentence ...

Wakie - An app to talk to strangers on the phone

Wakie - An app to talk to strangers on the phone I just found out about this app and it seems like something we at /r/stutter could benefit from. You choose a topic and request a call from a stranger...

Overcoming Physical Stuttering Behavior

Overcoming Physical Stuttering Behavior Hi, this is my first time posting on this sub-Reddit, but I am a 19 year old male and have stuttered since I was four. I've developed the terrible habit of try...

>You're telling yourself a bonafide part of you is wrong and bad and needs to be eliminated I'm saying it needs to be managed. Not even fluent speakers are 100% fluent so 100% fluency is not a rea...

When you fight your stutter you fight yourself. You're telling yourself a bonafide part of you is wrong and bad and needs to be eliminated (you can't just eliminate and stop stuttering). Accepting you...

I use techniques which I learned on the McGuire programme. It involves costal breathing which is deep breathing, stuttering on purpose, voice projection, speaking clearly and a lot of other psycholog...

techniques?

techniques? Can someone help me out a bit by telling me what techniques are out there? I know a few like talking in a sing-like voice and slower talk. Anything else is much appreciated!...

The just do it mentality definitely won't work of course! And this cannot be cured because it's not a disease. It's almost like an involuntary motor function. You just have to unlearn the stutter, and...

Yes but i can't maintain my fluency. Sometime i'am fluent few days and... Here we go again... I need to focus on controlling my speech (as you said, full breath is a good technique), still difficult t...

Had a good day today!

Had a good day today! Today was a good day, not just being spontaneously fluent, but controlling my speech. I had to make about 20 phone calls at work today, a little more than average, and felt I was...

well he said that i need to prevent myself from pausing while talking first and made me do other things like abdominal breathing and told me to stay calm and lower my voice, it actually helped me a li...

he gives me some random books and makes me read them word by word, first I take a read the word in my mind, think how to spell it, and take a breath then let the air out and say the word (I have to s...

Practice is the only way. Your speech pattern is fully automated and ingrained into your brain when you reach adulthood, so it requires great effort to change it....

Practice speaking in the morning. Pick a topic. Set a timer of 5 minutes, and talk about that topic, using slow speech. Do this throughout the day if you can. Set yourself challenges. "I'm going to g...

It's very hard to do because speech is so natural and something you don't think about. All I can suggest is picking a celebrity or good public speaker and try to emulate their pacing of speech by i...
