I don’t really have any tips as I’ve never made YouTube videos, but maybe if you stutter openly and purposefully try to make it a part of your brand, it won’t be as big of a deal? I don’t think you’ll...

As someone who’s done YouTube videos before with my stutter my best advice is to just deal with it. I had to acknowledge the fact that my stutter wasn’t going away the second I started recording. I ha...

Always. How I improved is by practicing in front of my bathroom mirror saying my name. I spent hours, days, weeks and months practicing. I framed from my theater background. If I wanted to get g...

Acceptance is the end..... Right? I used to always think that Acceptance was the end of the road for my stutter. All I had to do was accept it and it would go away? Right? Wrong! Truth is, Acc...

Thank you so much man, a common misconception among stutterers is people think we are mentally challenged but in reality, we are often quite smart, we know exactly what we want to say we just can’t ge...

I have a dissimilar experience to most stutterers that I’ve met (I go to NSF meetings) in that I’m incredibly happy I stutter. My fear of speaking as a child made me writing-crazy, and I developed a f...

Interesting discussion. It is definitely part of my identity but not one I particularly want to keep. It's a convenient excuse for what would otherwise be crappy behaviour like avoiding phone calls an...

Absolutely, it’s a huge part of me. I’m not saying I embrace it fully and that it does not frustrate me, but only reason it frustrates me is because a lot of people people are unaware and unaccepting,...

In general NO. My stutter is in no uncertain terms a 'disability', to put it bluntly. But one that is in my control to quite a large extent, hence I feel personally responsible for keeping it in check...

I spent so much time hating it when I was younger. Now it is just a part of me and who I am, like my freckles are. I know little tricks I can do to make my stutter go away, but they require so much...

It's really interesting that us stutteres recognize stuttering when we hear it within a split second while fluent people would never notice. I'm a huge fan of the singer Megan Washington who pretended...
