Very good video. I think there is an emotional aspect to this as well. Growing up I was very shy, and my stuttering compounded this and Vice versa. Sometimes I tell myself, “turn your weakness into a strength,” and try to figure out a way to do that. So even though my stuttering is a weakness, it has also made me a better listener, more compassionate, and humble. It doesn’t make up for it, but trying to turn at least some of our weakness into a strength is important rather than just thinking negatively all the time about our shortcomings.
I felt when I had speech therapy when I was young slowing words down made my speech more noticeable and gave my brain a overload and made my anxiety worse trying to address to myself I had to pause to get my words out what worked for me I taught myself to replace my words to keep the conversation flowing I use actually alot and like I’m 39 now and I’ve found what works for me to keep my sentence flow better xxx❤
We really apprecita what are u doing for us marcus and I gotta say i've known you workshop since almost two months but I didn’t watched it every day I say to myself I'm gonna start tomorrow 2x but I’m actually not okay? But a few days ago I got that feeling that telling me go on you have start working on your stutter and that voice kept coming to every single day and I finally did it I watched it, I've practicing the workshop that you made for us a week ago and I really really have noticed that there is a big difference between then and now so, all I wanna say is may god bless you for what are doing for us🙏,usually people say “you made my day” but me I am going to say that you are really really start making my days beautiful. Thank you marcus❤:)
bro pls tell me why i can speak more freely and confidently when i am speaking with by family and friends and stutter a lot when try to order something . How can i be more confident when talking to a stranger or at the time of ordering something??
I wouldn’t categorize mouth breathing and belly breathing as necessarily distinct from each other. Mouth breathing is a natural part of conversation. I would say the key is to find a middle ground between a shallow and a deep breath. Shallow breathing leads to higher stress but overly deep breathing can induce stress as well if it becomes forced. Breathing should feel very smooth and rhythmic and natural.
I started using the free workshops and it's been 2 weeks and I was wondering if it really works by itself or do I need to part the academy speaking too?
No, not anymore because the point isn’t to do a routine forever. I’ve reached a point where I’m able to maintain my practice through making RU-vid videos and simply going about my day. I still like to read aloud sometimes just because it feels good for my voice.
