Yeah i speak so fast that i repeat words, consonants and sometimes skip vowels so what i said doesn't male any sense and it gets frustrating because i have anxiety and sometimes i can speak fine but then out of nowhere i start stuttering and i get frustrated and sometimes i start crying.
@@mrsnobody309 yes my best friend is patient with me and so is my sister thank god i don't know what i would do without them and my parents always tell me to slow down but that doesn't do anything
Ikr, like every time that i report infront of my classmates, I always stutter and they always thought that im somewhat nervous which of course is im not, but when they scold me to not stutter and not be nervous that's when i become really nervous and frustrated..
I was a stammerer too but now i improved by this simple process, do this everyday for some days you will definately see the good results 1) take the any good few sentences which you fell its hard to say, may be 5 to 6 lines /and i also recommend make your own facial video) video making is for your own analysis. 2)read them in your most comfortable pitch and sound level in your own way. 3)after reading them you will know where and when at certain point of time you stuck. you can also underline at what words do you stuck which reading and you can also refer your video where and how do you stuck. 4)now practise reading the same sentences at very slow pace. while you read slow, you gradually pay attention of ur own throat muscles, how they fuctions with the combination of our own throat and mouth muscles to make a audible speech. there is also a breathing process involved in the play. You just need to observe your own body. Slow paced reading make you understand how do ur throat muscles actually works while you say variety of words. this helps hepl you to get the better understanding for the process of speech making of ur mouth. My main point in telling you all this is to understand and observe your own throat & mouth, try to get to know why do they function differently for different words.For me, slow reading helped me for better understanding myself. Now i speak more fluently and in some days i even fell its gonna go forever.!!! I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU GUYS!!
Practice, practice, practice. I am in the same boat as you dude but I'm in college. So imagine the stress I go through. Practice speaking in the mirror, read out loud, then branch off to talking with people. Don't hold yourself back, I held myself back in the past and felt like shit. Won't hold myself back anymore. You got this.
It'll be fine. I promise you. I'm 27 years old and have a bad stammer. I've had multiple jobs and I'm now in the career that I want to be in. No matter what you can't let fear rule your life.
Whats amazing is that one day i was told i have to give a presentation infront of the whole class. I was nervous at first but i gradually built up confidence and when i did the presentation i was amazed that i didnt stutter on a single word!! I spoke fluently without any problem!! It was a great achievement for me!! I also noticed that i dont stutter when i move my hands when i speak
Hey Amy, made a video and blog post trying to answer your comment/question www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-3-practical-tips-how-to-remove-speech-impediments
thankyou for this video, I have just got a speech therapist. I have a speech block that prevents me from getting words out. It makes me really angry at myself and I sometimes cry because I have so much to say and so many goals and ideas but I cant get them out :(
Hi im a stutterer. I notice when you are relax and realize ur trigger...and sing the word in a way it flows into normal conversation and open your jaw...and do the politician response slow but direct. I hope this helps...it also helps to work out...i notice stuttering has alot to do with anxiety and lack of confidence...because wanting to speak like non stutters....also relax muscles when not talking. And focus on breathing exercises.
Same problem with me.😭😭 I have many things to say and convey but I can't. I wanted to participate in debate competition but I didn't. I was feeling so upset that I cannot express my views just because I don't have confidence to stand on stage and deliver a speech there.
Yeah, I often hear that and I could say that for myself as well. And it may seem like it’s something about our mind only, some psychological stuff. But if we give it a thought speaking at its core involves communication, connection, and interaction with others. So, yeah it is stuttering. I’d love to see you inside my Improve program. You can join it here for free www.freefromstutter.com/
I’ve been stutter/stammering since I was born and incorporating mindfulness and meditation into my daily life really allowed me to understand my body better and know how to release that tension at will. For anyone struggling, I recommend trying it yourself!
Thank you, Chas! Great comment! I don't have the patience to make meditation my daily practice so far. Probably I'm still doing it but in my own way :)
thank tho, i will practice and i hope i could avoid stutter, and who ever read this, and also a stutterer, i hope you also could avoid stutter forever in your life, have a nice day, and keep do good things :)
Wow didn’t realize how many other people are out there that stutter too. It holds me back so much & im so sick of it. People don’t understand how hard it is to not be able to control something as simple as talking.
I'm 28 and have always stuttered. The dancing one helps me the most if I'm on the phone at home on my own but not as easy to dance Infront of customers at work!
Thank you so much. Your techniques are really helping. Speech therapy is so expensive and has never been covered by our insurance. Thank you for your free program.
I too shutter a lot and it's kinda killing me. When having conversation with others or with friends there are many things which I wanted to say but unfortunately that words left unsaid because of this disgusting stammering situation of mine. The words doesn't simply come out of my mouth even if I try to. Only the words I have with me when someone ask me about something is 'Yes or No ". Sometimes when I think the words gonna be hard explaining then I Simply go with " Never mind". I also have troubling with the words that starts with A, C , N ,S, T and Y, so I skip it.. Hell yeah, I literally skip the entire word that starts with that alphabet and jump directly to the next word . Instead of saying throughoutly I only come up with "that word" . And the listener keeps on guessing like which word? Is it from S or T or Y or A. Even in phone conversation when someone is in urgent condition and the person speaking with is me, I rather gave the phone to another person to speak them to. I just hope sometimes that please don't let me be in phone when something urgent comes up , Cause I know I can't. Sometimes I really does hate it, it makes me feel hopeless, Lifeless. No one in my family shutters, neither my siblings nor my parents, I'm the only one who have this. By asking to my mom I found that this shuttering of mine is not because of the genetic but because of one person whom I used to play with when I was a kid. Mom said I definitely have inherited the stammering because of that. Whatever the reasons are nothings matter now. The only thing matter is Wish I could cure this shuttering of mine before I reach 30 . 😔
Thank you so much for sharing! I'd love to see you inside the Improve Program www.freefromstutter.com/ and in the Free From Stutter Facebook group facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/
I relate to you!! I stutter since i was in kindergarten and now I'm 17 and I still do :/ I have difficulties saying words that start with a consonant. Presentations and recitations are my nightmares
Look some advice -slow down on your speeches -dont rush your words -and before talking to a friend,,,, practice talking to a family member first,,,so u will get accustom!
Hey Kathy, that's a pretty much usual situation. The answer I believe is just getting free from stutter in ANY setting. You're welcome to my free Improve program at www.freefromstutter.com/
I've also started a Free From Stutter Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/ for a broader discussion because I realize that my vision how to get free from stuttering is just one of the ways.
Hey Kichu, get inside the Improve Program here www.freefromstutter.com/ and join Free From Stutter Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/
When I'm speaking English I don't stutter. But if I have to speak my language(Otjiherero) I stutter terribly to the point of making weird movements with my body. So I guess I'll speak English for rest of my life, I'm good at it and I love 😍 it too.
Free from stutter. Yep I've got an idea. I read somewhere that it's caused by the brain, the brain sends faulty massages to the muscles while you're talking and that it's a genetic disorder.
Ok. My guess is that when we speak in a different language it's an opportunity to be a different "me." And gives us more freedom with our speaking. Our stuttering pattern doesn't work here yet. It's pretty much the same idea as with acting.
Hey, I found out that when I talk to myself I’m holding my breath which won’t make me stutter but talking to someone makes me breath in the middle of a word. Now I’m practicing this and I’ve seen major major major improvement
That’s a great observation! Yes, we want to play with feeling one airflow in each speaking piece! Definitely! It would be awesome if you could join Free From Stutter Facebook group and share your discoveries!
What can you say , you just need to face it , learn about it and try to do things like this guy in the video said. I have done 6 yrs of studying and I am 25 and I still stutter but never giving up is the key. Recently I got a call from a university, and the way I talk it was like 😂😂😂😂 , so embarrassing but you need to get the hold of it. It is curable💪💪💪, keep working on it like every muscle in the body.
I was a severe stutterer for 33 years. My name is Joe Riggs, and despite the stutter I still became an acclaimed Mentalist, lecturer & consultant. But i hated it, every second of it. I started out as a magician in my early twenties and was able to hide behind the "coolness" of my work, to give me a false sense of confidence. It caused so much emotional hell and self esteem destruction. Yet you wouldn't know that by meeting me. As a performer I was very able to project an attitude of "I stutter and I don't care, I'm too cool to care." That was bullshit though, it tortured me. But then a few months ago I found an old stuttering techniques book in a used bookshop, and after much practice, I NO LONGER stutter. That moment changed my life forever. The esteem and confidence has caused me to lose 77 pounds, get in shape, and do so many things I never did before. I walk on stage now and address my audiences fluent, and confident. Which is something I never thought I would experience. The concept basically was to slightly slow down while simultaneously focusing on Melody and Inflection. Sounds simple, and in many ways it is. But it really was a breakthrough. It is related to the fact that most do not stutter when they do impersonations, I see it as impersonating yourself, adding a hint of melody and inflection. There is a bit more to it but that is the crux. I am considering helping other stutterers, using a mixture of the techniques that cured me as well as some of the psychological techniques I use in my work. I will never charge a cent, I just desperately want others to know you don't have to feel that way, or, talk that way. And you are not alone. Anyways, love the video. Very inspiring. Already incorporating some of your tips into my new routine.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing! I can totally relate! I used to be a corporate lawyer so also had a bit of that coolness to cover insecurities in my speaking. And even though it feels like magic when you start feeling differently about your speaking, the real change starts with taking responsibility for our speaking. No magic here and no magic pill either :)
I could not agree more! And I love what you are doing to help people! I am only just now starting to consider helping people through my work as well, you're video and channel has definitely helped inspire me to do so. Thank you.
Thank you for this awesome and motivational video! I hope it works for me. Also, I so believe that after 19 years I will overcome this my whole life problem very soon. I wish next year I am free from stutter.
Hey Al Berto, thank you so much for the feedback! I remember how I gave myself one year to get free from stuttering when I was 17. Well, it took me a bit longer. :) At the same time, every time you choose imperfect action, every day you raise your hand, every time you open up - you're already free from the limitations that stuttering brings. Stuttering solution and getting free from stuttering is mostly about YOU rather than IT. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-solution
Yeah, even when people do it with their best intentions it might be very embarrassing. Regarding social life, I would suggest joining our Free From Sutter Facebook group and trying to be active there: facebook.com/groups/FreeFromStutter/
Oh, I see! Maybe you could find helpful this post and video as well in this regard: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-saying-the-name-4-practical-exercises
I am 17 and I can speak perfectly fine to individual people. My problem is when I'm in class and I get called on in front of the whole class I get so anxious that a stutter terribly. It is even worse when I know I'm going to get called on because I build up tension so when I do get called on I cant speak. Hopefully these tips will help, thanks!
Hi I am from Afghanistan and I had stuttering since i was 3 years old my stuttering it was worse sometimes and it was better sometimes. Thanks for uploading this vide it make me feel good. about fear i should tell that fear is not in our control in my opinion when i always want to explain sth in front of class i am like no I don’t want to explain my mates will be tired of my explaining or reading. Yeah it is happening one day when I came to in front of class to read new lesson when I start my stuttering also start i read a word for about 10 or 5 sec i was understress i tell myself don’t worry be relax and i was relax but no it doesn’t work and finally my teacher become tired and said tnx sit down i was so ashamed in front of my mates i was so angry I thought that all my mated they are laughing at me . Inshallah all people that have stutter they get better except me 🤲🏻
Hey Muska, I can so much relate and understand! Keep going on your journey! Don't give up on yourself! Join Free From Stutter Facebook group (if you're not there yet) to see you're not alone!
I love this! I actually picked up on some things on my own, I had to learn some strategies that would help my stutter go away on my own and to see similar ones here, I was shocked. I thought I was the only one lol. Good to explore and not feel alone, It absolutely works!! I 100% recommend this!
This is a wonderful video. Thank you so much. I have nearly mastered my stammer in most situations except one: zoom meetings. When it is my turn to speak or to explain, I can stammer badly. Any tips for me? A little note for everyone with a stammer. To control it, I first developed my self esteem (which was very, very low) through listening to people like Mel Robin, Marisa Peer, Lisa Nichols, Lena Kay (as a woman, I prefer women speakers because I feel they understand our emotions better, most of the time but they are wonderful male motivators out there.). As I started to love myself better, there was a slight improvement in my speech. Then I took speech therapy lessons. The stammer is now 98% under control. I stammered all my life (and that about more than 50 years of stammering). If I stammer now in some situations, I explain I stammer and that they have to be patient. This helps too. No more being ashamed of my speech. Another thing I have learned, if people laugh when we stammer: We look straight at them and tell them that they are hurting our feelings and disrespecting us. It takes a while to master the art of saying that without anger, but believe me, it works. People do not realise what they are doing. To laugh is an automated reaction, like when someone falls down. It is not right but it is what it is. Last thing: do not let your stammer get in your way. I wanted to be a journalist or a lawyer when I was young. I did not because of my speech. I was afraid of speaking. I let my stammer ruin my life. I choose the second best options always or even the third or the fourth. Don't. Take from my experience. Never be ashamed of who you are and how you speak. If it is too hard to say it, get a pin or badge saying ''I stammer/stutter, what's your super power.'' Make if fun but remember you have a voice, even if your voice is broken. You have the right to express yourself like everyone else. I suffered a lot as a stammerer. I do not want others to go through what I went. It is only now that I got a job I love and where I have to speak to people. And I am finally comfortable with myself. All the best! 🖤🖤
Why zoom calls might bring more pressure - it's because of additional exposure, sort of public speaking feeling. So, I would give my general tips for speaking anxiety here (which mostly match the tips that you gave): www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety
Another element I want to emphasise is creating. When we don't react or respond but rather create a situation proactively. We don't feel like an exam, but rather as an exercise. We don't hide or escape but rather open up and give ourselves permission to make a mistake and mess up. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-hard-situations
I would also invite you to our speaking club where we get together on a zoom video call every two weeks. It's a great way to practice being in this environment: www.freefromstutter.com/speaking-club
You ever stutter helplessly in front of people to the point where you get embarrassed and you can sense that they’re embarrassed for you and so now you’re embarrassed about making them embarrassed and it just becomes this giant cycle of embarrassment?
Yeah, this embarrassment is the biggest part of stuttering! I call it the invisible 90% of stuttering. And yeah, while I believe it's a great idea to work on removing the helplessness, even more important is how we deal with this embarrassment. So, here's another blog post and video that can help on that: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-is-not-bad
@@Pohacco_chan0ffical Got you! Why I'm asking - because that's how I see progress with stuttering. Not quite the fluency part, but how you feel during social interactions. I'm talking about i in my recent live steam: th-cam.com/users/liveiHHqGU_6kd4?si=3wNiZUdM5oQhCo3F
Hey, my boyfriend stutters and he wants to be free from it. I genuinely want to support him in any of the decision he takes, so can you tell me how as a non- stuttering person I should help him.
Hey Shreya, that's a great question and not an easy one to answer! I would say that the best way to help him is to let him know that you love him and your love doesn't depend on how he speaks.
I stutter. I honestly would hate being like this all my life. I try to be more social, because there's something exciting about the idea of not stuttering and being able to have normal conversation, and that motivates me, to keep practicing.
Yesss I like your last exercise so much that's why I am trying to do. I am in college now, and I volunteered to speak to 100 students about my stuttering because because I realize that will help me a lot. I am even trying to participate in that drill where I speak in French for the class and they repeat after me. The little conversations also work a lot.
Thank you so much! In the nutshell, we want to engage our body while speaking. It gives us some support and helps us express ourselves. Acting does one more thing - we get away from our "stuttering me," it gives freedom to be a different "me" without stutter. I talk a little more about it in this video about stuttering techniques www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-techniques
Hello Andrey your videos are awesome and I have tried this tips for 2 weeks and it's really helpful, but I still have some problems while telling a story or a personal experience so what advise can you give me? Make a video if possible please.
Hey Adrian, thank you so much for your comment! Doing exercises is great but I totally agree that it's not enough if we want to bring real change to the speaking pattern. And the problem is that speaking is highly automated so every time we speak "normally" we get back to our default speaking pattern which is insecure. th-cam.com/video/dvnLWKPMqK4/w-d-xo.html
My big idea is that we want to have a training speech that we want to use most of the time. And it's not some artificial kind of speaking, it's just putting more substance to our speaking, restoring the inner structure of our natural speaking. So, maybe this video can be helpful too www.freefromstutter.com/blog/what-causes-stuttering-two-real-causes-of-stuttering-anxiety-and-stuttering-tension
Yeah, I can relate. High school was a hard time for me. I got very conscious about my impediments and reduced the amount of speaking dramatically. How do you deal with it?
Yeah, agree, body meditation is a great thing to do! Yet, stuttering is a complex disorder, so I would suggest targeting all areas of the stuttering iceberg: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-disorder-stutter-symptoms-causes-self-help-and-treatment
When I stutter I feel freezed up and my jaws tight, when I’m giving a speech out I freeze up and my heart beets crazy I feel embarrassed 😩 and I feel like people will say “ That girl over there needs help talking” I feel stupid.. so I hope this helps.
Hey Jaylee, I can totally relate! Regarding the freezing up and anxiety maybe you could find this post and video helpful as well www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety
hmmm im 25 years old my stuttering start when im 7 years and still on..im so much tired of this wen im alone i can speak well but wen facing peoples its really hard
hey man nice, video. exercise #5 was interesting. was curious if your using a different voice to help ? thanks for sharing, you spoke with great poise, and fluency
Hi, I am from India, I wont stutter when i speak my mother tongue with known friends, But when it comes to English or any other language with Managers or colleagues or strangers like taxi drivers i start stuttering. Please help me
Got you! While I understand that it's difficult to interact with other people, probably that's exactly something that we want to work on and improve. Ideally, we want to enjoy social interactions. I understand that it's easier said that done, but that's a skill, that's a process, that's something to work on. Here's another post and video that you might find helpful: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety
Omg I hate when trying to say something and I start stuttering and then my friends start to speak and then my stuttering gets worst and I just want to cry
Yeah, I can relate! That's how stuttering works. We feel stuttering coming and the tension starts growing and we're paralyzed, we can't do anything about it at that time. And the keywords you used are "hate" and "cry." They describe the heart of the problem. The first thing we want to do is to feel, genuinely and truly feel more positive about ourselves (stuttering ourselves), speaking interaction, and speech impediments. And even though I'm preaching about building a training speech, associating the confidence with the act of speaking, etc. but the last thing, the very end result is the same thing that we want to start with - a more positive attitude, a positive feeling about the speaking interaction. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/what-causes-stuttering-two-real-causes-of-stuttering-anxiety-and-stuttering-tension
thank u for sharing, very detailed and good points. i fear picking up phone and i struggle a lot when speaking on the phone...ringing up is more difficult than responding to a call...feeling sad!
Yeah, get it totally! That's one of the reasons why in the Improve program as soon as we nail using our hand technique on the video calls we start making random phone calls right from the video calls, from the classroom. Would love to see you inside the Improve program. It's free! You can get onboard here www.freefromstutter.com/
Hi! Thank you so much for the great question! I think the most important thing is to have a clear plan how to move your new feelings about speaking to real life. How to actually apply those in real life. And it doesn't depend on how much or how many times you practice. What matters is how much and how many times you're able to use those techniques or exercises in real life. How you close the gap between your home practice and real life. I talk more about it here: www.freefromstutter.com/podcasts/free-from-stutter-team/episodes/2147786741
I also talk about this topic on how to transfer the techniques to real life in my latest video and compare different stuttering techniques here: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/top-17-stuttering-techniques
i had issues in primary school with stuttering and half way through high school i sorta only spoke 3 to 4 word sentences only coz i was to scared to say any more but gradually i added more and more words and in my 20s i just gained confidence .for the next 15 years i didn't stutter at all because i think may be because i was confident . but the last 12 mths im 38 now and im stuttering a lot and all the memories from school is flooding back .im feeling depressed and climbing back in my shell .not sure what to do
Hey Jason, even though stuttering obviously has a visible physical part it's also deeply rooted in our emotional and mental side as well. What oftentimes happens is that we get comfortable at some place or with some people or in some role where we know how to behave and we know that we can handle it. We feel confident and we "pass fluent." Yet, stuttering is sleeping there like Smaug in the Hobbit movie. So, fortunately or unfortunately, stuttering is much more than just the fluency stuff. Sharing another video that you might find useful. And I'm inviting to Free From Stutter Facebook group for more interaction. Out of the shell! www.freefromstutter.com/blog/overcoming-stuttering-stammering-one-big-truth
Stuttering is mainly an issue at work for me. It's just a part time job but a majority of my interactions have me tripping over words, stammering, or sometimes straight up just spouting gibberish. I hate it.
i used to stammer a lot at once. but later i found out what the reason is . why we stammer , how can i tackle it. try to observe one thing and you would probably find that you stammer when you get excite. never ever ever get excited while talking, if you have a stammering problem. one more thing, try to focus on the letters on which you stammer a lot , even at the start. for example i used to stammer on the letter "T" and "P " N and some more. well i tackle all the stammering problem in me. and now i work in a BPO (call center) . and you might know that working in a call center is only possible if you have a clear speach. I've cleared Versant test also.
Sir my stuttering is cured by 80% over a certain period of time but one this is not cured till now which is that when I have to give interviews I stutter a lot but I am very confident when I give presentations which I know and well prepared by me, the spontaneous questions push me to stutter a lot.
Yeah, I can totally relate. I also feel much better when I'm prepared and know what to say. A good exercise is to record yourself or even go live in our Free From Stutter Facebook group. Because I believe speaking is still more an interaction with a speaking environment than just articulation of sounds. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-treatment
Agree that there are so many things that hold other people back even without stuttering! And a big factor for all of us is exposing ourselves to potential judgment of other people.
I hope I have the best year of school.. I have social anxiety,anxiety.depression and ptsd I hope I don’t stutter .. I can’t even pronounce my own name 🤦🏾♂️😐. But when I’m comfortable and hanging with my bro I talk nirmal we have normal conversations but when I’m somewhere public I get anxious and can barely talk ..
Hello sir !! I am not really having stuttering prblm for all my speech but when I start a word with letters like T,M,K,C,P in speaking i feel a block is happening in my throat and not able to complete my sentence...this is too happening more in public..bcos of this i need to replace similiar words to that actual word what i need to talk...it really makes an awkward situation when am with frnds nd families 😔..pls give a solution to this
Hey Mohammed, got it! Thank you so much for sharing! Well, most people who stutter also don't have a stuttering problem for all of their speech. That's how stuttering works. I've just released a blog post and a video where I talk more about stuttering and its treatment. Hope you'll find it helpful www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-disorder-stutter-symptoms-causes-self-help-and-treatment
Hey Anil, yeah, that's the way stuttering works. Our speaking is highly automated and it's largely an emotional response to the environment. Maybe you can find this article helpful as well: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/i-don-t-stutter-alone-psychological-stuttering
I am 19 years old . I have this problem right from childhood.i don't have his problem while with friends. I face it often when I asked to answer something I am able to produce words only by hiting someone thing or shouting my leg . Many people see me as weird when I do this. I pretend to this more than anything in the world.pls help me out
So basically, what you're saying is when I'm in the post office and I'm about to speak to the person behind the desk, I am supposed to start dancing? Cool! That should get me well relaxed and chilled in no time.
Oh, I'm not sure that you've watched the whole video. In exercise 6 I'm saying that all our exercises and practices fade away in real-life speaking. And that for the real-life situations we need a solid foundation for our speaking. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/top-10-exercises-for-stuttering
Hi.... Every body I'm also stuttering while speaking..... Now I'm practicing more and more due to which I improved.. .... have any one to live talking in order to do practice more and more....
Hey Noorul, thank you for your comment! Just making sure that you also know about our Free From Stutter Facebook group facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/ I'm trying to make it a good place for the kind of interaction that you mention.
I don't stammer when I'm alone but when I have to speak publicly or with some stranger, I stammer. There are particular syllables 'chi', 'ka' etc. There are words which I don't really stammer with but speaking to a stranger increases my stuttering. My body gets tensed. Feels like anxiety increases my stuttering. Any way to reduce that?
Hey Rohitav, that's a great question! And you made one of the most succinct definitions of stuttering! That's exactly how stuttering works. Here are some tips how to reduce stuttering anxiety: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety
And if you want to go deeper into how we can bring big real change I'm inviting you to the masterclass I'm running these days: www.freefromstutter.com/masterclass-sign-up
When we speak or sign we usually breathe through the mouth. When we regularly breathe we usually breathe through the nose or breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. I've seen some people who stutter do that - use nose to breathe in before they say a phrase. I don't teach that and I don't use that as well. I suggest to breathe in and breathe out (you can breathe in through the nose and breathe out through the mouth) and wait for a second to feel the natural state we want to be in when we start speaking. We have a lot of air in the lungs and we feel calm, we don't want to feel rushed or stressed by breathing in just at the moment of the beginning of speaking.
Hello Andrey! Are you from Russia? I am trying to find some useful information for my russian stutterer friend, but his english is even more worse than mine)) Can we communicate with you in russian? Thank you.
It's easier to communicate on Facebook, so you can find me there. So I'm giving a link to Free From Stutter Facebook group - I'd love to answer any questions. facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/
Non stutterers are so damn lucky cause they don't know the feeling of not being able to speak normally and not being humiliated when talking.
So true
Yeah i speak so fast that i repeat words, consonants and sometimes skip vowels so what i said doesn't male any sense and it gets frustrating because i have anxiety and sometimes i can speak fine but then out of nowhere i start stuttering and i get frustrated and sometimes i start crying.
@@valeriel9755 yes exactly me too it's so terrible
@@mrsnobody309 yes my best friend is patient with me and so is my sister thank god i don't know what i would do without them and my parents always tell me to slow down but that doesn't do anything
@@valeriel9755 saaaaammmmeee
I hate when people think I'm nervous when I speak. I can feel totally confident but people would still think I'm nervous. So frustrating.
Yeah, some people don't understand what is stuttering (maybe most "regular" people). They just think it's the same thing as being nervous.
Yeah I feel you
brother ,do you heard about EMS namboodiri,a man who struggle with stutter,but he was a powerful cheif minister of kerala
I understand
Ikr, like every time that i report infront of my classmates, I always stutter and they always thought that im somewhat nervous which of course is im not, but when they scold me to not stutter and not be nervous that's when i become really nervous and frustrated..
I was a stammerer too but now i improved by this simple process, do this everyday for some days you will definately see the good results 1) take the any good few sentences which you fell its hard to say, may be 5 to 6 lines /and i also recommend make your own facial video) video making is for your own analysis. 2)read them in your most comfortable pitch and sound level in your own way. 3)after reading them you will know where and when at certain point of time you stuck. you can also underline at what words do you stuck which reading and you can also refer your video where and how do you stuck. 4)now practise reading the same sentences at very slow pace. while you read slow, you gradually pay attention of ur own throat muscles, how they fuctions with the combination of our own throat and mouth muscles to make a audible speech. there is also a breathing process involved in the play. You just need to observe your own body. Slow paced reading make you understand how do ur throat muscles actually works while you say variety of words. this helps
hepl you to get the better understanding for the process of speech making of ur mouth. My main point in telling you all this is to understand and observe your own throat & mouth, try to get to know why do they function differently for different words.For me, slow reading helped me for better understanding myself. Now i speak more fluently and in some days i even fell its gonna go forever.!!!
I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU GUYS!!
you know it's hard being a 17 year old who stutters. My parents are telling me to get a job and I want too but I fear stuttering
Totally get it! Would love to see you on the video calls inside the Improve Program!
Practice, practice, practice. I am in the same boat as you dude but I'm in college. So imagine the stress I go through. Practice speaking in the mirror, read out loud, then branch off to talking with people. Don't hold yourself back, I held myself back in the past and felt like shit. Won't hold myself back anymore. You got this.
It'll be fine. I promise you. I'm 27 years old and have a bad stammer. I've had multiple jobs and I'm now in the career that I want to be in. No matter what you can't let fear rule your life.
Same😣
Carlos Lopez That's the exact same thing I'm currently going through.
Whats amazing is that one day i was told i have to give a presentation infront of the whole class. I was nervous at first but i gradually built up confidence and when i did the presentation i was amazed that i didnt stutter on a single word!! I spoke fluently without any problem!! It was a great achievement for me!! I also noticed that i dont stutter when i move my hands when i speak
Wow!
when I stutter i feel like I can't breath
Hey Amy, made a video and blog post trying to answer your comment/question www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-3-practical-tips-how-to-remove-speech-impediments

Army!!!!!
thankyou for this video, I have just got a speech therapist. I have a speech block that prevents me from getting words out. It makes me really angry at myself and I sometimes cry because I have so much to say and so many goals and ideas but I cant get them out :(
It's awesome that you have much to say, have goals and ideas! That means you'll get there sooner or later!
Hi im a stutterer. I notice when you are relax and realize ur trigger...and sing the word in a way it flows into normal conversation and open your jaw...and do the politician response slow but direct. I hope this helps...it also helps to work out...i notice stuttering has alot to do with anxiety and lack of confidence...because wanting to speak like non stutters....also relax muscles when not talking. And focus on breathing exercises.
amber stephens
Ah okay, thanks very much for the advice! take care
I can relate to this on so many fucking levels!
Same problem with me.😭😭 I have many things to say and convey but I can't. I wanted to participate in debate competition but I didn't. I was feeling so upset that I cannot express my views just because I don't have confidence to stand on stage and deliver a speech there.
When m alone I can speak fast n properly but when I m with people i stammer/stutter n i get so sad.pls help me out
Yeah, I often hear that and I could say that for myself as well. And it may seem like it’s something about our mind only, some psychological stuff. But if we give it a thought speaking at its core involves communication, connection, and interaction with others. So, yeah it is stuttering. I’d love to see you inside my Improve program. You can join it here for free www.freefromstutter.com/
yup i've same problem so just let us know sir
Hey Chirag, the same answer here :) You're welcome to the Improve Program at www.freefromstutter.com/ It's totally free.

shiwani joshi same to me!
I’ve been stutter/stammering since I was born and incorporating mindfulness and meditation into my daily life really allowed me to understand my body better and know how to release that tension at will. For anyone struggling, I recommend trying it yourself!
Thank you, Chas! Great comment! I don't have the patience to make meditation my daily practice so far. Probably I'm still doing it but in my own way :)
thank tho, i will practice and i hope i could avoid stutter, and who ever read this, and also a stutterer, i hope you also could avoid stutter forever in your life, have a nice day, and keep do good things :)
Thank you so much!
Wow didn’t realize how many other people are out there that stutter too. It holds me back so much & im so sick of it. People don’t understand how hard it is to not be able to control something as simple as talking.
Yeah, I can totally relate. It's very hard to understand stuttering if you've never had a stutter.
I'm 28 and have always stuttered. The dancing one helps me the most if I'm on the phone at home on my own but not as easy to dance Infront of customers at work!
Yes, for sure! :)
Thank you so much. Your techniques are really helping. Speech therapy is so expensive and has never been covered by our insurance. Thank you for your free program.
I too shutter a lot and it's kinda killing me. When having conversation with others or with friends there are many things which I wanted to say but unfortunately that words left unsaid because of this disgusting stammering situation of mine. The words doesn't simply come out of my mouth even if I try to. Only the words I have with me when someone ask me about something is 'Yes or No ". Sometimes when I think the words gonna be hard explaining then I Simply go with " Never mind".
I also have troubling with the words that starts with A, C , N ,S, T and Y, so I skip it.. Hell yeah, I literally skip the entire word that starts with that alphabet and jump directly to the next word . Instead of saying throughoutly I only come up with "that word" . And the listener keeps on guessing like which word? Is it from S or T or Y or A.
Even in phone conversation when someone is in urgent condition and the person speaking with is me, I rather gave the phone to another person to speak them to.
I just hope sometimes that please don't let me be in phone when something urgent comes up , Cause I know I can't.
Sometimes I really does hate it, it makes me feel hopeless, Lifeless.
No one in my family shutters, neither my siblings nor my parents, I'm the only one who have this. By asking to my mom I found that this shuttering of mine is not because of the genetic but because of one person whom I used to play with when I was a kid. Mom said I definitely have inherited the stammering because of that.
Whatever the reasons are nothings matter now. The only thing matter is Wish I could cure this shuttering of mine before I reach 30 . 😔
Thank you so much for sharing! I'd love to see you inside the Improve Program www.freefromstutter.com/ and in the Free From Stutter Facebook group facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/
I relate to you!! I stutter since i was in kindergarten and now I'm 17 and I still do :/ I have difficulties saying words that start with a consonant. Presentations and recitations are my nightmares
@@rusrs9630 me too :( I can't say words that Start with T,P,D,A,C,N,M
Look some advice
-slow down on your speeches
-dont rush your words
-and before talking to a friend,,,, practice talking to a family member first,,,so u will get accustom!
i don't stammer when I'm reading alone but when i go to talk to people that's when i start to stammer
how do i get over that ?
Hey Kathy, that's a pretty much usual situation. The answer I believe is just getting free from stutter in ANY setting. You're welcome to my free Improve program at www.freefromstutter.com/
I've also started a Free From Stutter Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/ for a broader discussion because I realize that my vision how to get free from stuttering is just one of the ways.
What is ur facebook group name.plz tell me.u r my god now
Hey Kichu, get inside the Improve Program here www.freefromstutter.com/ and join Free From Stutter Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/
same hear friend....
When I'm speaking English I don't stutter. But if I have to speak my language(Otjiherero) I stutter terribly to the point of making weird movements with my body. So I guess I'll speak English for rest of my life, I'm good at it and I love 😍 it too.
Yeah, it often happens this way. Do you have an idea why?
Free from stutter. Yep I've got an idea. I read somewhere that it's caused by the brain, the brain sends faulty massages to the muscles while you're talking and that it's a genetic disorder.
Oh, I mean why you don't stutter in English.
Free from stutter. Oh that, I honestly have idea.
Ok. My guess is that when we speak in a different language it's an opportunity to be a different "me." And gives us more freedom with our speaking. Our stuttering pattern doesn't work here yet. It's pretty much the same idea as with acting.
Hey, I found out that when I talk to myself I’m holding my breath which won’t make me stutter but talking to someone makes me breath in the middle of a word. Now I’m practicing this and I’ve seen major major major improvement
That’s a great observation! Yes, we want to play with feeling one airflow in each speaking piece! Definitely! It would be awesome if you could join Free From Stutter Facebook group and share your discoveries!
I've been stuttering for a really long time :( i get depressed from it
Yeah, I can relate. That's why I started the channel and the Improve Program and try to help.
my stutering actually got worse i dont know what to do :/
You're welcome to the Improve Progam here: www.freefromstutter.com/ It's totally free.
Same here. I've become very depressed and feel helpless 😥
Same here. My life sucks
What can you say , you just need to face it , learn about it and try to do things like this guy in the video said.
I have done 6 yrs of studying and I am 25 and I still stutter but never giving up is the key.
Recently I got a call from a university, and the way I talk it was like 😂😂😂😂 , so embarrassing but you need to get the hold of it.
It is curable💪💪💪, keep working on it like every muscle in the body.
I was a severe stutterer for 33 years. My name is Joe Riggs, and despite the stutter I still became an acclaimed Mentalist, lecturer & consultant. But i hated it, every second of it. I started out as a magician in my early twenties and was able to hide behind the "coolness" of my work, to give me a false sense of confidence. It caused so much emotional hell and self esteem destruction. Yet you wouldn't know that by meeting me. As a performer I was very able to project an attitude of "I stutter and I don't care, I'm too cool to care." That was bullshit though, it tortured me. But then a few months ago I found an old stuttering techniques book in a used bookshop, and after much practice, I NO LONGER stutter. That moment changed my life forever. The esteem and confidence has caused me to lose 77 pounds, get in shape, and do so many things I never did before. I walk on stage now and address my audiences fluent, and confident. Which is something I never thought I would experience. The concept basically was to slightly slow down while simultaneously focusing on Melody and Inflection. Sounds simple, and in many ways it is. But it really was a breakthrough. It is related to the fact that most do not stutter when they do impersonations, I see it as impersonating yourself, adding a hint of melody and inflection. There is a bit more to it but that is the crux. I am considering helping other stutterers, using a mixture of the techniques that cured me as well as some of the psychological techniques I use in my work. I will never charge a cent, I just desperately want others to know you don't have to feel that way, or, talk that way. And you are not alone. Anyways, love the video. Very inspiring. Already incorporating some of your tips into my new routine.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing! I can totally relate! I used to be a corporate lawyer so also had a bit of that coolness to cover insecurities in my speaking. And even though it feels like magic when you start feeling differently about your speaking, the real change starts with taking responsibility for our speaking. No magic here and no magic pill either :)
I could not agree more! And I love what you are doing to help people! I am only just now starting to consider helping people through my work as well, you're video and channel has definitely helped inspire me to do so. Thank you.
Yeah!!!
Thank you for this awesome and motivational video! I hope it works for me. Also, I so believe that after 19 years I will overcome this my whole life problem very soon. I wish next year I am free from stutter.
Hey Al Berto, thank you so much for the feedback! I remember how I gave myself one year to get free from stuttering when I was 17. Well, it took me a bit longer. :) At the same time, every time you choose imperfect action, every day you raise your hand, every time you open up - you're already free from the limitations that stuttering brings. Stuttering solution and getting free from stuttering is mostly about YOU rather than IT. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-solution
thanks for this video, one of most honest videos I have seen so far thanks very helpful.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏👍🙌❤️
My friends finish my sentences every single time and cause of stuttering i have pretty much no social life

Hi I am from Afghanistan and I had stuttering since i was 3 years old my stuttering it was worse sometimes and it was better sometimes. Thanks for uploading this vide it make me feel good. about fear i should tell that fear is not in our control in my opinion when i always want to explain sth in front of class i am like no I don’t want to explain my mates will be tired
of my explaining or reading. Yeah it is happening one day when I came to in front of class to read new lesson when I start my stuttering also start i read a word for about 10 or 5 sec i was understress i tell myself don’t worry be relax and i was relax but no it doesn’t work and finally my teacher become tired and said tnx sit down i was so ashamed in front of my mates i was so angry I thought that all my mated they are laughing at me .
Inshallah all people that have stutter they get better except me 🤲🏻

Iam Indian,iam really Blessed from ur words😇
I love this! I actually picked up on some things on my own, I had to learn some strategies that would help my stutter go away on my own and to see similar ones here, I was shocked. I thought I was the only one lol. Good to explore and not feel alone, It absolutely works!! I 100% recommend this!
Yeah!!! Great to hear that, Jessica! Thank you so much!
This is a wonderful video. Thank you so much.
I have nearly mastered my stammer in most situations except one: zoom meetings. When it is my turn to speak or to explain, I can stammer badly. Any tips for me?
A little note for everyone with a stammer. To control it, I first developed my self esteem (which was very, very low) through listening to people like Mel Robin, Marisa Peer, Lisa Nichols, Lena Kay (as a woman, I prefer women speakers because I feel they understand our emotions better, most of the time but they are wonderful male motivators out there.). As I started to love myself better, there was a slight improvement in my speech. Then I took speech therapy lessons. The stammer is now 98% under control.
I stammered all my life (and that about more than 50 years of stammering). If I stammer now in some situations, I explain I stammer and that they have to be patient. This helps too. No more being ashamed of my speech.
Another thing I have learned, if people laugh when we stammer: We look straight at them and tell them that they are hurting our feelings and disrespecting us. It takes a while to master the art of saying that without anger, but believe me, it works. People do not realise what they are doing. To laugh is an automated reaction, like when someone falls down. It is not right but it is what it is.
Last thing: do not let your stammer get in your way. I wanted to be a journalist or a lawyer when I was young. I did not because of my speech. I was afraid of speaking. I let my stammer ruin my life. I choose the second best options always or even the third or the fourth. Don't. Take from my experience. Never be ashamed of who you are and how you speak. If it is too hard to say it, get a pin or badge saying ''I stammer/stutter, what's your super power.'' Make if fun but remember you have a voice, even if your voice is broken. You have the right to express yourself like everyone else. I suffered a lot as a stammerer. I do not want others to go through what I went. It is only now that I got a job I love and where I have to speak to people. And I am finally comfortable with myself.
All the best!
🖤🖤
Wow, thank you so much for your beautiful story and great advice! So much resonate and agree with every word you said! 👍🙌❤️
Regarding the zoom calls, what do you think is triggering additional pressure in this case? Do you make zoom calls often?
Why zoom calls might bring more pressure - it's because of additional exposure, sort of public speaking feeling. So, I would give my general tips for speaking anxiety here (which mostly match the tips that you gave): www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety
Another element I want to emphasise is creating. When we don't react or respond but rather create a situation proactively. We don't feel like an exam, but rather as an exercise. We don't hide or escape but rather open up and give ourselves permission to make a mistake and mess up. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-hard-situations
I would also invite you to our speaking club where we get together on a zoom video call every two weeks. It's a great way to practice being in this environment: www.freefromstutter.com/speaking-club
I observed your way of speaking and it's really helping me 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the kind words, Nabeel! 👍🙌❤️
I like very much like your hand movement technique. Its useful in life. Its make u effective speaker...
You ever stutter helplessly in front of people to the point where you get embarrassed and you can sense that they’re embarrassed for you and so now you’re embarrassed about making them embarrassed and it just becomes this giant cycle of embarrassment?
Yeah, this embarrassment is the biggest part of stuttering! I call it the invisible 90% of stuttering. And yeah, while I believe it's a great idea to work on removing the helplessness, even more important is how we deal with this embarrassment. So, here's another blog post and video that can help on that: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-is-not-bad
i have a big presentation this week and i hope these tips help me
Maybe you would find this useful as well: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety
I stutter a lot no matter what emotion iam feeling
This helped
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏👍❤️
Can I ask you, how do you feel about social interactions in general? I believe that’s a good measure of the progress with stuttering. 😊
@@Freefromstutter oh I stutter a lot I hardly talk I only talk if it’s serious
@@Freefromstutter my social interactions are very poor
@@Pohacco_chan0ffical Got you! Why I'm asking - because that's how I see progress with stuttering. Not quite the fluency part, but how you feel during social interactions. I'm talking about i in my recent live steam: th-cam.com/users/liveiHHqGU_6kd4?si=3wNiZUdM5oQhCo3F
Hey, my boyfriend stutters and he wants to be free from it. I genuinely want to support him in any of the decision he takes, so can you tell me how as a non- stuttering person I should help him.
Hey Shreya, that's a great question and not an easy one to answer! I would say that the best way to help him is to let him know that you love him and your love doesn't depend on how he speaks.
Really enjoying this video. Thank you for your help and advice.
Thank you so much for your support!
I stutter. I honestly would hate being like this all my life. I try to be more social, because there's something exciting about the idea of not stuttering and being able to have normal conversation, and that motivates me, to keep practicing.
Wow, you're awesome!
Yesss I like your last exercise so much that's why I am trying to do. I am in college now, and I volunteered to speak to 100 students about my stuttering because because I realize that will help me a lot. I am even trying to participate in that drill where I speak in French for the class and they repeat after me. The little conversations also work a lot.
Awesome!
Hi Andrey. Thanks for the tips! Loved the portion on tension
Thank you so much!
Excellent Video Buddy... loved it. I didn't understand the EXERCISE #5 that is acting. Please Explain.
Thank you so much! In the nutshell, we want to engage our body while speaking. It gives us some support and helps us express ourselves. Acting does one more thing - we get away from our "stuttering me," it gives freedom to be a different "me" without stutter. I talk a little more about it in this video about stuttering techniques www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-techniques
Hello Andrey your videos are awesome and I have tried this tips for 2 weeks and it's really helpful, but I still have some problems while telling a story or a personal experience so what advise can you give me? Make a video if possible please.
Hey Adrian, thank you so much for your comment! Doing exercises is great but I totally agree that it's not enough if we want to bring real change to the speaking pattern. And the problem is that speaking is highly automated so every time we speak "normally" we get back to our default speaking pattern which is insecure. th-cam.com/video/dvnLWKPMqK4/w-d-xo.html
My big idea is that we want to have a training speech that we want to use most of the time. And it's not some artificial kind of speaking, it's just putting more substance to our speaking, restoring the inner structure of our natural speaking. So, maybe this video can be helpful too www.freefromstutter.com/blog/what-causes-stuttering-two-real-causes-of-stuttering-anxiety-and-stuttering-tension
Thank you! I have no words to say. It's awesome!
Yeah!!! Thank you so much!

I've been stuttering since kindergarten & now I'm in 8th and still stutter
Yeah, I can relate. High school was a hard time for me. I got very conscious about my impediments and reduced the amount of speaking dramatically. How do you deal with it?
Same here I began stuttering in kindergarten all the way to 8th grade
Jovanni Flores me too it sucks especially during speeches
I'm 24 I still stutter
SAME
If u stutter only in front of stranger or in anxiety then acc to my personal experience n knowledge about body meditation is the best thing u can do.
Yeah, agree, body meditation is a great thing to do! Yet, stuttering is a complex disorder, so I would suggest targeting all areas of the stuttering iceberg: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-disorder-stutter-symptoms-causes-self-help-and-treatment
Thankz a lot brother.. much love.. made my day ♥
Yeah!!! Thank you so much!
good video i will use this and stop stuttering this year
Hey Anthony, I love your dedication! Getting on the road and making the first step is usually the hardest thing!
When I stutter I feel freezed up and my jaws tight, when I’m giving a speech out I freeze up and my heart beets crazy I feel embarrassed 😩 and I feel like people will say “ That girl over there needs help talking” I feel stupid.. so I hope this helps.

Do you still take it?
thank you so much
Thank you!
I started stuttering when my mother taught me Spanish before English and so i suppose that's how
hey man nice, video. exercise #5 was interesting. was curious if your using a different voice to help ? thanks for sharing, you spoke with great poise, and fluency
Thank you!!!
Hi, I am from India, I wont stutter when i speak my mother tongue with known friends, But when it comes to English or any other language with Managers or colleagues or strangers like taxi drivers i start stuttering. Please help me
Sure, would be happy to help! Watch some videos inside the Improve Program and get on the video calls. See you there!
In my case,im introvert,has social anxiety disorder &the more worst is i stutter for 30 yrs😢 .so difficult to interact with other people
Got you! While I understand that it's difficult to interact with other people, probably that's exactly something that we want to work on and improve. Ideally, we want to enjoy social interactions. I understand that it's easier said that done, but that's a skill, that's a process, that's something to work on. Here's another post and video that you might find helpful: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety
Thank you for the AWESOME video!
Hey Arsha, thank you for watching and letting me know!
Great video.. !!
Thank you so much!
Omg I hate when trying to say something and I start stuttering and then my friends start to speak and then my stuttering gets worst and I just want to cry
Yeah, I can relate! That's how stuttering works. We feel stuttering coming and the tension starts growing and we're paralyzed, we can't do anything about it at that time. And the keywords you used are "hate" and "cry." They describe the heart of the problem. The first thing we want to do is to feel, genuinely and truly feel more positive about ourselves (stuttering ourselves), speaking interaction, and speech impediments. And even though I'm preaching about building a training speech, associating the confidence with the act of speaking, etc. but the last thing, the very end result is the same thing that we want to start with - a more positive attitude, a positive feeling about the speaking interaction. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/what-causes-stuttering-two-real-causes-of-stuttering-anxiety-and-stuttering-tension
thank u for sharing, very detailed and good points. i fear picking up phone and i struggle a lot when speaking on the phone...ringing up is more difficult than responding to a call...feeling sad!
Yeah, get it totally! That's one of the reasons why in the Improve program as soon as we nail using our hand technique on the video calls we start making random phone calls right from the video calls, from the classroom. Would love to see you inside the Improve program. It's free! You can get onboard here www.freefromstutter.com/
Great 10 exercises
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Hi bro. I have also stuttering since when I was bron. How many times should I practice on them?
Hi! Thank you so much for the great question! I think the most important thing is to have a clear plan how to move your new feelings about speaking to real life. How to actually apply those in real life. And it doesn't depend on how much or how many times you practice. What matters is how much and how many times you're able to use those techniques or exercises in real life. How you close the gap between your home practice and real life. I talk more about it here: www.freefromstutter.com/podcasts/free-from-stutter-team/episodes/2147786741
I also talk about this topic on how to transfer the techniques to real life in my latest video and compare different stuttering techniques here: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/top-17-stuttering-techniques
This is really helpful, thankyou
Thank you so much for the kind words, Dalia!
Because of stammering,i am always afraid of answering questions,i can write perfectly well but I can't speak in the public
Yes, I can relate!
i had issues in primary school with stuttering and half way through high school i sorta only spoke 3 to 4 word sentences only coz i was to scared to say any more but gradually i added more and more words and in my 20s i just gained confidence .for the next 15 years i didn't stutter at all because i think may be because i was confident . but the last 12 mths im 38 now and im stuttering a lot and all the memories from school is flooding back .im feeling depressed and climbing back in my shell .not sure what to do
Hey Jason, even though stuttering obviously has a visible physical part it's also deeply rooted in our emotional and mental side as well. What oftentimes happens is that we get comfortable at some place or with some people or in some role where we know how to behave and we know that we can handle it. We feel confident and we "pass fluent." Yet, stuttering is sleeping there like Smaug in the Hobbit movie. So, fortunately or unfortunately, stuttering is much more than just the fluency stuff. Sharing another video that you might find useful. And I'm inviting to Free From Stutter Facebook group for more interaction. Out of the shell! www.freefromstutter.com/blog/overcoming-stuttering-stammering-one-big-truth
Thank you sooo much
Thank you! 🙏
Stuttering is mainly an issue at work for me. It's just a part time job but a majority of my interactions have me tripping over words, stammering, or sometimes straight up just spouting gibberish. I hate it.
Hey Emerald, got it! Can you name a speaking setting where you feel more confident or comfortable?
Hey, Great Video! keep making more.
Thank you so much! You can access more exercises at www.freefromstutter.com/
Very nice video sir
This made me smile
Yeah!!!
i used to stammer a lot at once. but later i found out what the reason is . why we stammer , how can i tackle it.
try to observe one thing and you would probably find that you stammer when you get excite. never ever ever get excited while talking, if you have a stammering problem.
one more thing, try to focus on the letters on which you stammer a lot , even at the start. for example i used to stammer on the letter "T" and "P " N and some more. well i tackle all the stammering problem in me. and now i work in a BPO (call center) . and you might know that working in a call center is only possible if you have a clear speach. I've cleared Versant test also.
Great advises and tips
Thank you so much!
Very useful. Thanks a lot my friend. 😁
Thank you so much for the kind words, Ako!!!
Great sir You are doing a great job here
Thank you so much!
Sir my stuttering is cured by 80% over a certain period of time but one this is not cured till now which is that when I have to give interviews I stutter a lot but I am very confident when I give presentations which I know and well prepared by me, the spontaneous questions push me to stutter a lot.
Yeah, I can totally relate. I also feel much better when I'm prepared and know what to say. A good exercise is to record yourself or even go live in our Free From Stutter Facebook group. Because I believe speaking is still more an interaction with a speaking environment than just articulation of sounds. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-treatment
thank you a lot it does realy work with me I'm healing slowly and upgradely thanks
Awesome! Thank you so much for your comment!
There are people that don’t stutter or stammer and are shy and the only reason I’m shy or just stick to myself is because I stutter
Agree that there are so many things that hold other people back even without stuttering! And a big factor for all of us is exposing ourselves to potential judgment of other people.
I hope I have the best year of school.. I have social anxiety,anxiety.depression and ptsd I hope I don’t stutter .. I can’t even pronounce my own name 🤦🏾♂️😐.
But when I’m comfortable and hanging with my bro I talk nirmal we have normal conversations but when I’m somewhere public I get anxious and can barely talk ..
Yes, that's how stuttering works www.freefromstutter.com/blog/i-don-t-stutter-alone-psychological-stuttering

Th..th...th.. thank y..y....you. This H..h..h..helped me al..l..l...lot.

Hello sir !! I am not really having stuttering prblm for all my speech but when I start a word with letters like T,M,K,C,P in speaking i feel a block is happening in my throat and not able to complete my sentence...this is too happening more in public..bcos of this i need to replace similiar words to that actual word what i need to talk...it really makes an awkward situation when am with frnds nd families 😔..pls give a solution to this
Hey Mohammed, got it! Thank you so much for sharing! Well, most people who stutter also don't have a stuttering problem for all of their speech. That's how stuttering works. I've just released a blog post and a video where I talk more about stuttering and its treatment. Hope you'll find it helpful www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-disorder-stutter-symptoms-causes-self-help-and-treatment
These are very good tips
Thank you so much!!!
When am alone I speak slowly.. Clearly
But when infront of people I speak fast and people are dint understand..
Sir suggest a good idea?
Hey Anil, yeah, that's the way stuttering works. Our speaking is highly automated and it's largely an emotional response to the environment. Maybe you can find this article helpful as well: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/i-don-t-stutter-alone-psychological-stuttering
Very useful video bro
I Am from India ✓
Thank you so much for the kind words, Pankaj! 🙏

Thank you Anna!
I am 19 years old . I have this problem right from childhood.i don't have his problem while with friends. I face it often when I asked to answer something I am able to produce words only by hiting someone thing or shouting my leg . Many people see me as weird when I do this. I pretend to this more than anything in the world.pls help me out
Hey Madhan, got it! Thank you for sharing! I suggest starting with my free Improve Program over here www.freefromstutter.com/
So basically, what you're saying is when I'm in the post office and I'm about to speak to the person behind the desk, I am supposed to start dancing? Cool! That should get me well relaxed and chilled in no time.
Oh, I'm not sure that you've watched the whole video. In exercise 6 I'm saying that all our exercises and practices fade away in real-life speaking. And that for the real-life situations we need a solid foundation for our speaking. www.freefromstutter.com/blog/top-10-exercises-for-stuttering
Great tip, great video
Thank you!
Thank you

Tabassum Afreen awesome, thank you!
u like my name?? why did u repeat it in ur comment?☺😁😀
Oh, TH-cam just automatically populates the name so that a person is notified of the comment I guess :)
ohh, good!!
I don't stammer when I'm alone but when I have to speak publicly or with some stranger, I stammer. There are particular syllables 'chi', 'ka' etc.
There are words which I don't really stammer with but speaking to a stranger increases my stuttering. My body gets tensed. Feels like anxiety increases my stuttering. Any way to reduce that?
Hey Rohitav, that's a great question! And you made one of the most succinct definitions of stuttering! That's exactly how stuttering works. Here are some tips how to reduce stuttering anxiety: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-and-anxiety-7-tips-how-to-reduce-stuttering-anxiety

Thank you so much, Lina! Got you!
when im alone i speak or read good sometimes but when im infront of everyone i get nervious
Using nose to breathe can help? Because i use my mouth to breathe
When we speak or sign we usually breathe through the mouth. When we regularly breathe we usually breathe through the nose or breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. I've seen some people who stutter do that - use nose to breathe in before they say a phrase. I don't teach that and I don't use that as well. I suggest to breathe in and breathe out (you can breathe in through the nose and breathe out through the mouth) and wait for a second to feel the natural state we want to be in when we start speaking. We have a lot of air in the lungs and we feel calm, we don't want to feel rushed or stressed by breathing in just at the moment of the beginning of speaking.
Hello Andrey! Are you from Russia? I am trying to find some useful information for my russian stutterer friend, but his english is even more worse than mine))
Can we communicate with you in russian?
Thank you.
Hey Alina, sure, I would highly recommend Arlilia center in Moscow, that's where I took my own therapy: www.arlilia.ru/
It's easier to communicate on Facebook, so you can find me there. So I'm giving a link to Free From Stutter Facebook group - I'd love to answer any questions. facebook.com/groups/224345674717526/
