Work with a speech therapist, they know what to do to help you stop stammering. Also, stammering may be a symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which can be diagnosed and treated by a psychiatrist (Psychiatrists have Medical Degrees). In the mean time, I have heard that if you start to breath out just before you begin vibrating your vocal cords to make sound, that establishes momentum that helps reduce stammering. Good luck!

AnswerSTUTTERING - STAMMERING : The word "stuttering" is mostly used in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The word "stammering" is usually preferred in the United Kingdom, Eire, India and most other Commonwealth countries. Try deliberately slowing your speech. You could try several different talking speeds: 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100% Consider your current rate of speech as being 105%, a rate at which you stutter frequently.

Go back to 85%, then slowly increase, in stages, until you begin to stutter noticeably: then go back to 85%, and work your way up to the rate before you began stuttering at a rate that you find unacceptable. Keep at that rate, for a good while, maybe later, risking stepping it up one more notch; confident that you can always work your way back up from 85% again.

Think of it in terms of modem speeds on your computer: if that speed is set too high for the connection to the ISP, there will be problems. You may well be currently "overclocking" your speech modem: the difference between your brain speed, and the rate at which you are able to speak clearly and distinctly, without stuttering markedly, is the issue. A different suggestion is putting some marbles in your mouth.

The Stuttering Foundation has a list of speech therapists who are trained to work with those who stutter. Many of them are experts in their field because they also used to stutter. Check "referrals" at their web site.

I have several uncles and cousins who used to stutter. They all got help from The Stuttering Foundation of America and used their book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" to overcome their stuttering. They only had instances of it recurring in times of extreme stress. One uncle also went to a speech therapist who specialized it treating stuttering while he was working through the book.

ASHA - the American Speech and Hearing Association can give you referrals, too. They can also let you know what stuttering programs are valid before you put your money into anything.

Your best bet is a resource like the Stuttering Foundation where you get free help. Books and videos are online, and there is a list of public libraries that shelve books and DVDs for you to check out free. If your library doesn't have them, all the library needs to do is contact the Foundation and they'll get them free of charge.

The Foundation has come a long way since it helped my uncles. I have followed it for over 50 years.

How To Stop Stammering While Speaking:
  • In the privacy of your home, pick up a book and start singing as you read it. You'll notice just like The Beatles or anyone with an accent that it doesn't come through when you sing and the same happens with people that stutter. Try it and practice it and you'll be very surprised at how well it works.
  • Do some tongue twisters and improve your vocabulary daily. There are many free sites offering tongue twisters and vocabulary help. There is a lot to improve.... So get busy!

It is not totally curable, but a speech therapist trained to work with stuttering can teach techniques to make it barely noticable. Get a referral and information from The Stuttering Foundation of America's web site.

Unfortunately there is no cure for a stammer.

A young person who stammers may simply grow out of it or the stammer may lessen with age.

There are techniques that allow a stammerer to control their stammer rather than cure it.

Such techniques may include breathing techniques, changing the pitch of the voice, positive thinking, even stammering on purpose (the latter in order to reduce the fear of having an uncontrolled stammer situation).

See stammering.org for more information.

You may not get rid of it totally, but you can greatly improve your speech. The Stuttering Foundation has online books and videos as well as referrals to specialists. They have a great web site; check out "ebooks" and "streaming videos" as wel as the brochure section.

Stammering can be decreased by attempting to talk slower. If this does not help, this speech condition eventually stops by itself.
