Exercises to Improve a Stutter

Basically, stuttering is a disruption with the normal flow of speech. It is a speech disorder where sounds, syllables or words are continuously being repeated by the speaker. It's also sometimes associated with stammering.

Let me give you some guideline to overcome stuttering.

1. Find a comfortable quiet place to do the exercise. Settle yourself and relax.

2. Try to articulate and pronounce the vowels A, E, I, O, U, giving more exaggeration on the letters E, I, O, U. Do this for about a minute or two.

3. Do some breathing exercises. For 3minutes, take some deep breaths. Make sure that you fill up your lungs and slowly exhale. Repeat, but do not rush.

4. For 3 minutes, repeat the breathing exercise but this time pushing your tongue against your palate exaggeratedly.

5. Now for 3 minutes fill your lungs again with air, while putting pressure to tighten your cheeks and lips.

6. Next, do a 2 minutes breathing exercise while pressing the thoracic muscles as if you are putting back the air in your belly.

After these exercises, grab a book and read a text and start reading it without firmness on each word. Refrain from ridging on the words. In case it is not avoided, do not stop, just continue reading the sentence. This way you will be able to overcome stammering.

Make it a daily habit to do these exercises on a daily basis for the next 2 to 3 months. You will be able to notice a drastic change in the long term. Remember though that stuttering or stammering can't be cure overnight. You have to work really hard with these exercises, be patient and relax every time you do it. The exercises will help you a lot, but of course it will take time and effort.
