Improve Your Voice I have this problem all the time. When I was maybe 14 or 15 I was on a bus and the ticket inspector came and asked me for my ticket. I gave him my under 16’s ticket and he didn’t believe I was under 16. He asked my date of birth and I couldn’t say it. He then kicked me off the bus because he thought I was lying.

stuttering has destroyed my life. i have no friends, no social life and no fun. i hate my life

[@ImproveYourVoice]

Don’t feel that way. Life is long and you can make changes to start appreciating all that you have. Whenever you feel this way, I want you to write down three things that you are grateful for. Even if you feel awful, force yourself to sit and write 3 blessings that you can actually be thankful for! Then once you acknowledge these three things. Spend a little time working on this issue at hand. You’ll find that you’ve changed your psychology to a more positive mindset and so will allow the work to work because you’re not frustrated. 💪💪💪

[@MyStutteringLife]

My daily regimen to help manage my stutter is: (1) Practice Daily Mindful Meditation - 10 mins (2) Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing - 10 mins (3) Reading Out Loud - 10 mins (4) Practice In Front Of My Bathroom Mirror - I practice greetings, my name, salutations, etc.... The most fascinating aspect of all of this is when I DON'T focus on my stutter and I focus on the conversation, the person I'm speaking to and I'm in the moment, my stutter lessens and often goes away. When I focus on living and being in the moment, my speech improves. When I have a block, I stop, breathe, and continue on. We are all different in our speech journey but our common denominator is that we are not alone. The main point of all of this is that there is no magic pill but through daily practice, you will see and hear the difference. All of my coaches told me that if you want to get good at a skill, you need to practice. (My background: started stuttering at age 5 due to a traumatic dog attack. I had no voice for one year after the dog attack and then I attended 20 years of speech therapy. I'm 49 now with 95% fluency. I focus on living and not my stutter. Fear has no more control over me, I'm in control now.)

[@tt1367]

Summary 1. relax your body, muscles and jaw - drop shoulders and relax muscles - focus on breathing - massage jaw 2. slow down your speech - recognise patterns in speech stuttering 3. Focus attention away from yourself - focus on the action, not the words. Focus on how you're trying to affect the listener. Words will come automatically. - example: when flirting, don't think about the words you have to say but think about how you are trying to affect the other person with flirting. - example 2: when scolding, don't think about the words, think about the action and effect of scolding. 4. Practice daily If it doesn't work: stop, breathe, slow down, think of the action or change the action.

[@chrisandjullabutcher1292]

I've been stuttering since I learned to talk. I couldn't get through a sentence without stuttering. My family (bless them) didn't know that it was an actual speech impediment and would hit me in the mouth every time I stuttered thinking that I was doing it on purpose. My mom's approach of getting me to get over my stutter was to force me into public speaking. Eventually I wouldn't stutter as much in front of a crowd (I still did very randomly with conversations) I was bullied because of my weight and my stutter as I was growing up, and it wasn't until I was in college that I saw The King's Speech for the first time and found out that I wasn't alone- a lot of people had that problem too. I used the same techniques I saw there and what I see in these videos to try to overcome my stutter. My stutter still comes back every now and then, but I learned to overcome it by: - avoiding trigger sounds when I know I'm about to stutter (so using a synonym instead: eg, saying sheet instead of paper) - using hand gestures to force the sound out - blending it with an "umm" to not make it so obvious - controlling my pace so I can really visualize each word I'm about to say. I never let my stutter stop me from doing what I love - I'm currently an English communications trainer and scuba instructor. So I'm constantly fighting my battle with my stutter every day, and not letting it silence me. So I'm super thankful for videos like this for helpinh me get through my stutter the past 10 years. ❤️❤️❤️

As someone who had a severe stutter and as someone who still has a minor stutter now. I can say this to you. 90 percent of it is psychological because when you stutter for so long it becomes a habit to stutter more and more. I took this course on Udemy and it’s helped me a lot.

There are three instances where I use my voice and I don't stutter: when using a fake accent, speaking out loud when alone, and when I sing.

I’m 11 and I stutter quite a bit...and i think after this video I have stooped way more Tysm ❤️

[@morriswilburn9858]

I am 69 years old, and have stuttered all my life. I have found by “trial and error” that I need medication to treat anxiety AND depression. That may or may not require two medications. From my reading, I have found that what will work for one person may not work for another. For depression, I suggest that you start with Prozac; I have used it for 30 years. I have heard that Xanax has bad side effects. Clorazepate is one of several medications designed to treat anxiety. It greatly helped my speech at first, but its effect slowly declined because my body developed a tolerance for it. It also has bad side effects: it makes a person drowsy, and I once fell asleep while driving and almost got killed.

If you have time read it, else ignore :) My friend stutter a lot and honestly I don’t find anything wrong with that I feel like it’s just a special way for them to talk and to be known but he really hate it, he hate talking to people and he hate using his own voice for communication and I’ve tried giving him support mentally like I honestly never thought that the way he talks is detracting or unordinary I think of it as special bu the doesn’t and I am just trying my best to help but I just don’t know what to do 🤧🤧😭😭💕💫 I am his childhood friend and he always tell me if it was special then why can’t I make new friends, ITS YOU is my reply always because you should try putting yourself out there I know that it’s hard and it takes a lot of courage but you shouldn’t hide who you really are to sake acceptance, you are perfect and I mean a lot suffer more severe stuff but they fight and over come the power to defeat it BE STRONG and PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, you only live once and you will regret being anti social just because of your stuttering. Some are willing to accept you the way you are so don’t let those who destroyed your confidence or YOU from someone who might give you all the support you want 🥰 I love you for who you are and even if no one loved you I am here and I know I might not be much but talk to me if you need it 😭😭💕 I really love his reactions when he is stuttering and trying his best to express his emotions 😂😭🥺💕 someone might feel that same way AND I KNOW THERE IS SOMEONE

I only stutter at the BEGINNING when I start speaking. Once I get the first few words out I’m good, but man...sometimes it feels impossible to get started when it’s my turn to speak. I really have to prepare for it, which only increases my anxiety.

[@4ngel116]

[@nickp3949]

@irl bratzdoll Yeah it sucks man. Like, I would be really good socially, but I have a habit of stuttering when it’s my turn to start speaking. This knowledge and self awareness that I have of my stuttering only increases my anxiety and it makes me self conscious and less socially adept than I’d like to be.

Hello, I'm 44 years old. I started when I was 8 years old. I was mocking(mimic) my old brother who was 14 years old. He stopped stammering at 17. I couldn't. I have a problem with opening voyels. Everytime I want to pronounce a word starting with a voyels, I find myself absolutely out of breath. This condition is holding me back. Thank you so much for your video, I'll follow the instructions and hopefully, it's going to work.

[@EndoOnYouTube]

I found a solution for my stuttering: just concentrate while talking. It really works you just have to practice to concentrate while talking bc I was just bringing sentences that I memorised just by saying it a lot and that’s how I stuttered but I found the solution of concentrating while talking after a few months of stuttering and I want to help all of you guys to get through it bc I know how hard it is to not stutter I hope this helped

As a child i spoke way quicker than others and people told me to speak better. So then i started to slow down my speech. But the started stuttering. And now i hope with these tips this wil help. Thank you!

[@prerakparekh8537]

I think rather then slowing down, we must allow the tounge to complete its motion while speaking. This make our mind more confident that we are able to speak and also it gives time to tounge and vocal cords to come in position for the next word. I have tried this and this has really worked like I tried to speak some complex words like Reservation, Conformation in normal speech with the technique and this relly worked. Slowing down is good but if we combined the above mentioned technique it can produce best results.

[@FXJerisk]

Thank you this. My 6 year old has recently started a stammer and tick and it hurts me so much to watch. It started after the lockdown. I let him play Fortnite with his older brother and it made him so stressed and upset. The beauty of the stuttering has meant I’ve given him so much more focus and time and really bonded with him. It’s people like you that are helping us get through this. Btw Reiki sessions really helped improve his flow

I stutter a lot. Even in the daily life when I'm speaking to my family members and sometimes I can't even get the "good" out to say good morning. Sometimes they get angry at me even though it's something that I can't even control. They think life is easy for me because they have never stuttered. That's the thing I hate to most. I just want everyone to ignore my stuttering when I talk.

I've always wondered how actors who stammer/stutter like Rowan Atkinson, James Earl Jones and Samuel L Jackson are able to just switch into character mode. Thanks so much for explaining "actioning" it makes sense as the times I'm most fluent is when I have an action like "to flirt" or "to vent" or "let rip". It might also be why Samuel L Jackson says saying "Mother F*cker" helps him to distinguish the stutter. I'm going to practice this and report back. Great content. Subscribed.
