Hello, My name is Félix, I'm from Alcalá de Henares (Spain). 35 years old and stutter...;-) and engineer computer. Well, a lot of year ago I am very interesting about the "time pressure". I have finded in your powerpoint some advices very interesting: - Look one or two inches above the listener - Initial slow and sweet the initial speech (start to speech). But other advices I believe it's more difficult to do. For example: - To be calm. How can I get to be calm in a "time pressure" situation?. I believe, I need trainning. For this, I developed some task and software for this. a) Overshadow character in soma TV serie. All he said, you have to repeat. The pressure time achieve becouse you have to say all the phrases of the character. b) A software than I developed, "RandomPhotos". This software show you various pictures about the person, and when you see a person you feel "time pressure", you have to say "Hello" or other phrase. The software allow a sound (.mp3) associated with the photo target. c) Record a real pressure time situation. And after, in your house, overshadow the situation. Or try to be calm with you listening the situation. I don't know if this task are useful for other stutters, but it is only question of trying it... I would like to know others taks to reduce the "time pressure". Regards and thanks for all..
