A contestant on America’s Got Talent, Amanda Mammana, gave an emotional audition for the show when she sang a song she wrote herself.
It wasn’t just the lyrics that moved the audience, it was how Mammana admitted to struggling with a speech impediment. She stutters, but the stutter goes away when she sings.
Houston speech pathologist, Kathy Swiney, a board-certified specialist in the treatment of stuttering, said speaking and singing come from different parts of the brain. “You don’t create your song when you step up on the stage, so, you have practiced it. It is on the creative side of the brain that feeds into smoother speech,” Swiney explained.
Swiney said memorized words, pretending to be someone else, and singing may all help a stutter to disappear while participating in one of those activities.
