i am 16 and a stutter, however i only have a very mild stutter, but it still feel the affect of the stutter

[whoisdantheman]

I got this problem, but my dad has it worst and I can laugh cause I got this problem myself.

[EricDySart]

Amazing documentary. I was researching a character that stutters, and actually learned something. Thanks man.

[archaea771]

This is a great documentary. I have trouble saying certain words and it's frustrating, esp. because I have to speak a lot in my job. I'm now attending Toastmasters to practice speaking in front of groups and I'm also going to join a support group. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

I'm 54 and have been a stutterer my whole life. My dad also stutters, even worse than I do, but none of my other 5 siblings stutters. I would love to find some help for me here in Houston.  Wonderful video. Thanks.

[Alexrmurphy]

@1Sorrelly Thank you for watching. Attending meetings is a great place to start! I've heard Houston has a great National Stuttering Association chapter. That's how I got the inspiration to start work on this documentary =)

It takes me awhile to even notice a stutter if I even notice it. I don't always catch it unless someone points it out. I grew up listening to a variety of Latino accents, English, Spanish and was always fascinated with languages since very young to the point of pursuing a degree in linguistics at UT in Austin. Is there such a thing as an ear that just doesn't catch stuttering?

[Alexrmurphy]

@Tera1971 Everyone can detect stuttering. However, some people are better at picking up the subtle signs of a more mild or covert stutter; the pauses, the stumbles, the loss of eye contact, the switching out words, etc. But when you're talking with someone who has a severe stutter, it's almost impossible not to notice because it's not just "hearing" the stutter but seeing it as well - there's often strong visual cues as well that the person is struggling (see Evan at 0:45 for example).

Love it! Really great documentary

I'm a 17 year old girl from Holland, and I've stuttered for as long as I can remember. The everyday situation that are being described here are so formiliar. Just like My Cousin Vinny!

This is the best documentaire about stuttering I've seen so far. Thank you!

[sandypanda1]

Love the video guys! It's my first time seeing it and I live near Austin and have a chance to meet a couple of the people at an improve class. Wonderful people who I hope to meet again but with less anxiety about it. Stay resilient my friends!

@wrjamescom I consider stuttering a disability as it prevents me and other stutterers from participating in jobs that demand the ability to speak clearly and on queue (ie- the military, air traffic controllers, sometimes even common jobs like a fastfood cashier). I cannot pretend that stuttering isn't a disability if I am fully qualified to do a job but am turned down because I stutter.

[rockinokie]

Thanks so much for making this video! I don't have a bad stutter, but when it hits, it can hit hard. I really enjoyed your documentary, and living in Pflugerville, it's nice that it's so close to home.

I''m 19 years old and I've been stuttreing since I was six. I can sing beatifully without stammering, because singing is like speaking. It has a rhthym to it. In speaking, I have to start out slow on the first word and then speak at a constant rate as the sentence continues. I have to be sure also to pause and take a breath when necessary, and give people a chance to repsond, cause i love to talk. lol Also it can be very irritating when someone interrupts me or trys to finish my words.

[jermyhasabeard]

This rules hard. Seriously. I'm a 17 year old stutterer, and for most of my childhood I was made fun of or made to feel insignificant because of it. Thank you so much for making this video.

[cyberboxx]

The video resonated with me; good job; well done. I am a 67 year old persistent adult stutter. I enjoyed a successful career as a communication satellite engineer, despite and because of stuttering. Stutter effects my life everyday.

[AsleepOnTheMetro]

Read about this in a Statesman column and looked it up. So glad I did; this is the best UT student-made film I've ever seen (and I've seen a LOT of terrible UT student films). Beautifully done. Keep it up.

[kwstnfrd1]

I stutter, and I found this so moving. I really felt as if I was alone, and it's amazing to find a community in my city that shares my same sentiments. Thank you so much for this.

[Bovro]

Does anyone else not stutter when they talk about stuttering?

[DiagnosisHealth]

Fantastic video.

[johnnyharrison123]

Absolutely terrific video. Everything in it cuts to the quick. And I'm really blown away by the sophisticated level of production.  I'll be interested to see what you do next.

[marktb68]

sorry bro. Got carried away. By the way, why hasn't there been a film documentary a stutterer's success story. All the stories are about dealing with stuttering but can you imagine the effect a film is shot about a stutterer and his road to becoming fluent. talk about powerful!! mark

[sarahdagostino]

awesome!awesome. so well done and well said. Sarah D'Agostino

[1979Ebo]

[hooahguy14]

as a stutterer myself, I must say that this video is amazing.

thank you for making it!

[Alvarezie89]

I agree. I forget sometimes that there are people with the same problem that I have. I wish there was a cure for this. Best of luck! thanks :)

[nicolelovesglamour]

I'm 15 years old, and I stutter. I can't thank you enough for making this. It's amazing!

[Alexrmurphy]
