I have stuttered for as long as i can remember. I have taken speech therapy lessons and even did a 3000 dollar for 3 day program. It taught me to take deep breaths and slow down. However lately nothing seems to be working.
My friend says that i have a lack of confidence, but that's because i stutter. And i can grantee you i would be very confident if i could speak fluently.
I am an actor...doing final year Theatre Studies. It pissed me off when i cant even read out the lines for some and for others i read well or perfectly....it makes no sense.
Now my latest ordeal is to try and prepare for a speech for English. Everyone will be all laxidasical about it while i will have to go over my speech for weeks in advance to have any hope of succession in saying it fluently. I was actually a finalist last year because i hardly stuttered at all and people finally know I'm not a complete moron.
Please, if stuttering effects confidence and visa verse...how the hell do i escape?
