Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My voice is very low. I am not able to scold or intimidate anyone. When my friends abuse me, I am not able to reply to them. They take advantage of me. They never heed my words. Sometimes, I feel much worried about it. I also hesitate and vibrate while talking. People keep me down with their voices. I am not able to cope with them. My friends suggested me to increase my pitch. Sometimes, I am not audible to my friends also. I have had this problem since my childhood. I have some fear of speaking to people and even my friends. Give me some tips to improve my speech and articulation skills.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As reported by you, the possibility of you have stuttering is very high. If you are scared of people do activities, which would decrease your confidence, then make sure that you stay in a positive environment.

  1. Practice in front of a mirror. Try to do activities that would reduce your anxiety.
  2. Do breathing exercises, so that the loudness of your voice would increase.
  3. Make shorter sentences so that you would have adequate breath support.
  4. Fear is not an option to survive. Practice with confidence. It would help a lot. Practice the wrongly articulated words in front of the mirror.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
