Why don't people in movies and series stutter like people in real life?
I believe this is likely due to a number of reasons. I have not worked in the movie-making industry personally, but I would imagine that the incorporation of stuttering into a scene would detract from its dramatic impact. Additionally, it would take up more time answering potentially lower the quality of the film as a whole. I have often wondered if the addition of realistic speech patterns would, however, actually improve the quality of a film. Would it make the movie feel more genuine, or would it simply make the entire production feel less polished?
Is it true if you still stutter as a teenager you will be a stutterer forever?
Have stuttered all of my life….and I mean SEVERE stutter. Was so severe and for so long that I surrendered that was going to be a cross I would carry through life. It wasn’t until at the age of 29, when I went to an exceptional speech pathologist, did I find hope. During the first session, I was told that it cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. That gave me hope! He gave to me the six rules for good speech. Which are:1) Think - about what you say before you say it.2) Breath - talk as you exhale rather than inhale.3) Move your mouth - that will prevent slurring4) Make all sounds - and be sure to emphasize the last sound of each word. ***5) Use enough voice ***6) Talk slow - in order for your speech to sound normal to the listener, it must sound abnormal to you.Too, I learned years ago from Dr. Don Kirkley, who taught public speaking at the Pentagon, the key to effective speaking is hesitation. Pause. No more than six (6) words at a time without a pause. Even less…than six… will work…nicely.Oh, and a note - it’s not easy. It takes work. You CAN do it. I went to the speech therapist one hour per week for 52 weeks. My last session, he asked me to read a story about George the Rat, and if I may say, I did an excellent job. He then said, Now, I want you to listen to this. He played a recording of a kid trying to read the same story. It was obvious to me that the young man had physical problems. I could not understand what he was saying. At the end I said, My gosh! Who was that?! The therapist’s next words I will remember until the day I die. He said, That was you during your first day of therapy.My fear of public speaking was for many years more than most could possibly comprehend. Now, it’s a rush. Promise! To make a long story short, by using the rules given to me, I’ve presented workshops/seminars throughout the United States.There is more that I could share in this space; however, if you would like to learn more of my experience, take a look at the ebook on Amazon Kindle, Rise Above: Conquering Adversities.Also, through April 17 you can download the ebook for FREE:Rise Above: Conquering Adversities - Kindle edition by Greg Little, Kathy McClure, Risa Bruner, Isidor Muniz, Tony Johnson.

Why don't people stutter when they sing?
There are a few reasons why people who stutter don't do so when they sing. One is called easy onset of speech, or easy voice, or smooth speech. This describes the way you sing. Think about it - you generally use a smoother and easier voice when you're singing versus when you're speaking. Speech therapists actually use the easy onset strategy when helping people who stutter. Another reason why a person may not stutter while singing is because words are more prolonged (and less apt to be stumbled over) when they're sung rather than spoken. Music is an activity in which you use the right side of the brain (language uses the left), so when you sing music, you're no longer using your left brain (and probably no longer stuttering). The bottom line is this: Whenever a child or adult who stutters talks differently than the way he usually does, he will be fluent. That includes using a stage voice or a foreign accent or dialect, whispering, singing, speaking to a rhythmic beat, using ‘baby talk' and speaking at a lower or higher pitch than normal. Besides sounding and feeling unnatural, however, these ‘tricks' rarely produce long-term fluency.
Would people beat you up if you stutter?
