I would place the Adronian Speech at the top. The other stuffs (checking abdominal breathing, intentions, should act to support the main practise ~ lets call them supplemental practice). So my suggest...

So my suggestion is, try practising adronian everyday for a week, a month, a few months, a year. After all, if nothing else seems to work, why not give this a try? I definitely vouch for it ...

So in other words, I sorta use the Adronian speech in real life situations, although not in the same way that I use it in practise In practise, just use the exact same method in the book In real lif...

When at home I practise a lot of Adronian speech. But in real life conversations, I don't really say aaaah everytime before I speak, although I do consciously monitor my speech in case of blocks. The ...

well he's not a quack. He presents at the NSA conference every year. It's just his own theory that he came up with so it's sort of a one man sell. It does have good points but then again, it all goes ...

Hi, I have also enjoyed quite a bit of success due to using this book and it's methods, but I'm sometimes still a bit overwhelmed... Pinching on vowel sounds, keeping a check on the abdominal breath...

Any word on how this performs long-term? This Valsalva thing is brought up in here every now and then, and there's never any careful study of it outside of the immediate success with it. I think we s...

I wouldn't say it's the best book, but i enjoyed it. He sort of came up with this Valsalva theory himself, and like all control methods it doesn't account for all speech related issues that trip us up...

thats good to hear man. So is that all you did basically, just do the 'aaa' thing before the sentence? I think I will get back in to it :) Also, is it just practice or do you use it in real life situa...

Maybe you can give it a try again, this time focusing on the Adronian Speech. You need to make it part of your life, otherwise you will quickly relapse into your old habit of speaking. Whenever you st...

The Adronian speech practise. After practising it for about a week (20 minutes a day) I could get past the early sentence block very easily. Further explanation: I usually stutter at the beginning of...

For me, the proof was in the advancement of my speech. I wouldn't see, any other way how the technique would fail on me, other than lack of mechanical speech or lack of practicing or challenging feare...

That's just confirmation bias. I've been to programs where I was perfect in the program, they told me to keep up the practice when I came home and it'll stick. Well for a lot of people it doesn't stic...
