Greetings, Kristin, I as a clutterer cannot sing, I still clutter when I try to speak in an empty room. I am the same in an ordinary conversation mode, when I have to speak to someone purposefully I can manage to speak a little clearer but it IS a concerted effort. When giving a talk I can also purposely slow down using breathing and pauses to get through difficult bits, but I still find it difficult to say vowels and my longer words come out a shorter version sounding similar, continent becomes contnent, telephone becomes telphone, cathederal becomes cthedral, the same as writing, the longer the word, the harder it is to write and the intelligibility worsens.
