It's all in my head

Sorry if I sound pissed off..but I am.

Today I went to my acting school, and I had to do this new monologue ( performance,play) for the first time....even though I was using the Mcguire technique, I stuttered miserably. A while after, the teacher told me to do my old monologue..when i steped in to do it...it felt like a whole bunch of negative aura went out of me, and i did the performance ( while using the Mcguire technique) without even sttutering once.


So briefly, even though i practiced alot of the first monolgue...i felt that mental disconfort that i couldnt get rid of for some reason, but as soon i was about to do the old monolgue..it all went away.

It kinda pisses me of because i realise the only reason why i stutter is when i face a situation that even though im not nervous, i get that mental disconfort or wtv and then even the Mcguire cant help me much, and because of that evry freakin word is a pain to let out.

You are going to perform in any situation in the way you "believe" you are going to perform. No mater what technique you are using if you believe you will stutter you will and without any technique you can "change your mind" and not stutter. It is that simple and that difficult. If you are not stuttering when you act then learn to "behave" a different version of yourself. The trick is in acceping yourself with this new behaviour.

You mentioned that you "felt like a whole bunch of negative aura went out of me". You have really hit on something there and you don't really know it yet but we will all, in coming years, come to understand that this will be the treatment of the future. The importance of speech therapy will disappear and the removal of negative thoughts and emotions that have been embodied, that are greatly contributing to the stuttering, will be able to be removed through various enery healing techniques. There are already methods to do this and I will be talking about them on my blog in coming months so don't miss them.

that anxiety thing is so complicated, not even 5 seconds after the teacher told me to do my old performance...all the anxiety goes away.

I just dont know how to get rid of it.

I read some stuff on your blog, im waiting for your new post...hope it will help me reduce that stupid anxiety

sometimes i think how our previous experiences with stuttering really pulls down our confidence one way or another. It's like a mannerism. You know you can stop doing it, but since you have been so used to it there's just always that thought of possibility that you will stutter.

For me. I know that speaking slowly (and sometimes really slowly) removed a lot of anxiety on my speech. Although I know it, sometimes whenever I get excited I forget it and stutter, as if it has already been a reflex of my body.

I'm glad to see people who stutter in acting.
