    Actually, I’ll make some presentations for myself and using them to practice spontaneous speaking (in front of a mirror). Reading aloud became very easy, but talking to others is still stressful sometimes.

    I agree, I don’t remember reading any positive or constructive posts/criticism from Adam about the Lovett method, only these short negative comments (with lots of exclamation marks) about why these methods WON’T work.

    What do you think about spontaneous, “freestyle” affirmations? Basically, I go into a meditative state then I talk to myself without any pre-planned sentences. I tell myself the affirmations but in a more enjoyable and spontaneous manner, which is a main part of the Lovett method – speaking without actually thinking about words and focusing on the message (in this case, the message is the same as in the affirmations – loving to speak, using crutches, improving myself every day, etc.)

    “Remember that stuttering is a habit, nothing more, nothing less. Colin Firth created a habit and needed to unlearn it, simple as that.”

    I actually agree with the habit theory. 🙂 I had a brain scan when I was in my teens, and doctors couldn’t find anything unordinary about my brain.

    Ok, I’ll tell you my experiences on our coaching session next week.

    I was wondering if stuttering really is a bad habit. It has no physical causes, stutterers can be fluent under certain circumstances, so isn’t that possible?

    I’ve read somewhere that Colin Firth had a problem to “unlearn” his stuttering after the movie “The King’s Speech” was made and he’s learnt to stutter for the role of King George VI.

    I’ve never met a stutterer who spoke like a King/Queen, with passion & feelings, using (intentional) pauses and extreme pronunciation on (non-stuttered) words. Most of them (myself included) spoke in a monoton, emotionless voice.

    OK, I’ll make an another recording, this time with extreme pronunciation and passion (a.k.a. crutch 11)

    Did you also use affirmations while you were sleeping? I’ve tried it last night but I couldn’t sleep because of it.

    I have a feeling you still haven’t read the book.

    To be honest, sometimes all of it, because I looked at it as a chore or an obligatory thing to do. But Lee wrote on his book’s first pages that we should treat beating stuttering as an interesting game and have fun doing it. 🙂

    So, should I talk as much as I can during online meetings and over time, my speech will also be better, when I talk to someone in “real” life?

    Interesting, because talking during an online meeting today was easy for me, unlike talking to someone in real life. Anyway, that was a very positive experience for me. 🙂

    I think the answer is: practice, practice, practice 🙂
