I know I am being overly critical and giving my situation don't feel proud... Just a struggle to get through anything that is put through over the airwaves. I try to look at it with an open mind, he speaks very well... But not exactly a voice meant for radio. Now, if I recall... You do a little radio. Do you ever hear criticism? Gotta be hard to accept.

Some of my commercial voiceover clients have asked I not read their ads anymore. This problem has gotten worse over the last few years. Is it a dental issue? Sinuses? A mini-stroke? I asked a doctor and he had no ideas. Oddly it took me a long time to actually hear what people were complaining about. My S sounded more like F or TH. Now that I'm aware of it, I listen carefully. If I hear that creep back in, I can redo the ad. But some days it's harder to avoid than others.

Especially when anxious Expand Had a friend who had a major problem with stuttering well into adult hood. He could never overcome it, but I always respected that he never let it hold him back career wise. He would always ind a way to make himself understood. On another note I read an article over on NFL.com about draft prospect tackle Connor Williams (out of texas) who had problems with stuttering and was bullied for it as a child. interesting enough read
