I have a friend who also stutters, or, I found out he stutters after knowing him for a few months.

Apparently he uses a similar technique where he "sings" what he wants to say in a slightly higher-pitched voice when talking in a professional setting. He sounds totally normal when using it, but you're not in doubt when he doesn't.

I'm sure it took a lot of training to master it.

The speech and singing regions of the brain are separate from each other, which is why this works. It also can work for people who lose the ability to speak from brain damage.

It's wild how adaptable the brain is. Some dude was out there just living life when he had a head mri after a car crash (iirc) and found that he only had a brain stem.
