[TheCaptMicro]

i stutter when talking to everybody except my mom lol but when im alone i speak so fluently and then when i say the exact same thing i said to myself to somebody else i stutter lol i dont take it seriosly bc all my friends know i stutter and there cool with it. Nobody is perfect. But i would really like to stop this stuttering

None of the techniques is meant for everyone; they are matched to the type of stuttering you have. The ultimate intent of the techniques is to reduce the anxiety about stuttering; less anxiety results in less muscle tension when speaking and less stuttering. The techniques aren't the answer to stuttering, just a step along the path to greater confidence speaking and better control of stuttering moments. GJR

I met Martin Schwartz when he came to LA, sometime 88 I believe. The 1st part of the seminar is Free, the 2nd is you pay the full amount upfront, upon returning for the 2nd half, 50% of the people who never returned. Had a feeling then I should of asked for my check & walked out the door, I regret that I didn't... The "Air Flow technique: is NOT for everyone, it's a joke, after 4-5 months of trying, I could not master it, asked Schwartz for a refund years later and it was declined, BEWARE.

YES the air flow technique works. what happens is that when you begin to talk you might stumble on a word, and then your vocal chords actually block the passage of the word. Thank you the air flow technique stopped my stutter. it didnt PERMENTLY stop it, but it greatly helps with your stuttering. Im a(kind of stutterer) and i approved this message. hit me up XxKoRnOnTheKobxX on xbox live.

This is a rather primitive version of the Passive Airflow Technique, not at all like I was taught by Dr Schwartz in 1981. The airflow should be much more passive and slight, not the heavy breathing-out in the video. Schwartz warned against 'pushed' flows (forced flows). A correct flow should not be heard. And nothing is said about slowed first syllables and the 'Intent to Rest' which prevents scanning for feared words.

You're right.. but I did say in the video that this was a "modified" version of the Schwartz technique... its the way that I use it in therapy. I teach stuttering therapy and the audible exhalation is a signal to both the client and clinician that the vocal folds are not adducted. For many clients, ensuring that the vocal folds are open makes a significant difference in their therapy. Thanks for the comments.

Thank you sir. I wish I become as perfect as you are.

One thing that creates hindrance to me are words tht have "lips" effect in it like those starting with P or B. Can you help ??
