Adding "My name is..." before saying our name can create a fluency effect. How can we replicate this fluency effect to bypass stuttering (triggers)? That would result in tricking the brain or calming the alarm system—without adding a little phrase or other tricks?

Does Singing Help Stuttering?

Does Singing Help Stuttering? There were two instances were two people I knew of used to kind of sing as they spoke which immensely reduced the pressure and they used to stutter way less? Does this w...

When I went to speech therapy I was told to control my breathing (deep full breaths) and to speak at a slower pace. Anxiety/stress make the stutter more prominent, which is then self fulfilling loop....

Distraction tools or anything for rhythm can affect my stuttering. DAF/FAF, metronome, auditory masking, speaking while someone else is talking (mirror neurons), but as you said, I’m not sure about th...

> *"even when I wasn't thinking about anything, my stuttering continued. So in short, isn't ignoring it normally beneficial for stuttering? "* Comment #2: There is a new (2024) research study that I'...

Hi This is part of the costal breathing technique and does make a big difference. If you say a word place your hand on your throat and then say the same word again with your hand on your chest. You wi...

Voice pitch linked to more frequent stuttering?

Voice pitch linked to more frequent stuttering? My voice pitch fluctuates a lot throughout the day, I notice when it’s deeper or raspier, I stutter significantly less. People always tell me I don’t ha...

Honestly, I use costal breathing when things get a bit closed up and im feeling more blocks than usual. I’m also someone who did the McGuire program years ago. Lots of useful techniques when combined ...

Deep breaths my man! Speaking at a slower pace will feel weird at first, but you will soon get used to it, as will everyone else. Picture someone super chill like the Dude from the big lebowski. That...

Taking a big breath can make your throat dry, and even a little light-headed, but remembering to drink enough water and pausing helped me. My options were: a) uncontrollable stammer b) controlled stam...

The sounds that you listed are plosive sounds and they momentarily stop the flow of air causing stuttering blocks. This is probably not normal disfluency especially if there are accompanying struggle ...

I wouldn't be so sure. The Brady participants didn't speak exactly one word or syllable per each beat; they were able to mix up how much they spoke on a beat, so it could come off more naturally than ...

Costal breathing as a way to control a stammer

Costal breathing as a way to control a stammer I wondered what everyone thinks of costal breathing as a way to control their stammer. I have stammered for decades. Twenty years ago, I stumbled across...

Breathe, and speak slowly.  If you are stuck on a word then try to think of another ways to say the same thing. Eg. Goodbye = see ya...
