Hello, Haley! First let me tell you that I love your name :):):) Here's a little quote about James Earl Jones: "When he recited without faltering, teacher and students were amazed by the power of the voice Jones had kept bottled up inside him. Today that voice is one of the best known in the world." (http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/jon2pro-1 /////////// I can feel something happening inside of me when I imitate other people - the way they talk. It is entering another personality. People then say to me "why don't you always talk like that?", which is similar to the question you asked. I guess I could say to myself right now "from now on you will not talk like Marija, you will talk like Haley does". And if I did it for a long enough time, maybe my stutter would change for better...? I really don't know. The dream of every stutterer is just TO BE ABLE TO TALK, with his/her own voice, with his/her own thoughts behind the words, while those words and the mimics and the gestures are not being abrupted or ruined by an imposed speech technique.
