Yes please! Link them! Also can you explain me how hard was it to use this technique in your everyday life? Like how did you progress and adjust, because I'm quite scared to try it meaning that at ...

Your thoughts on the McGuire program?

Your thoughts on the McGuire program? So I just watched [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvs6gcSlMMc) and I wanted to know if it really works? I'm really interested in this since I haven't real...

I know that feel. My way of approaching this is the following: You know that feel when you're talking in a plain voice because you're uncomfortable because you actually do not want to talk right now? ...

Have the same problem. For answering the phone, I found that clearing my throat before I say "Hello" helps a lot. When I'm just talking, I've learned to sort of feel when the block is coming and pick...

Try reading the paragraph like an actor reading a monologue. Own that paragraph and use a different voice than the one you usually use. This is the only way I'm able to read aloud in front of others w...
