00:00Why do you think that you don't stutter when you sing?
00:03Yeah, so there's like a whole science behind it.
00:06And when you sing, you're using a different part of your brain.
00:10That's what I've heard.
00:12So yeah, I should probably look into the science of it more because it's so interesting.
00:16And there's so much more science to it.
00:18I'm being a lot more fluent now.
00:21And at American Idol, I was under a lot of stress and pressure.
00:27I wasn't necessarily stressed about what song I was singing or like that aspect of it.
00:31But there was a lot of things happening at once.
00:34And it was all very new.
00:35So I think under environments like that, my fluency tends to be, I tend to stutter a little bit more.
00:43But in environments like this where I'm in my house, you know, it's just you and me.
00:47And I can take my time when speaking and slow down my speech like I'm doing now and take deep breaths and use the techniques that I've learned from years of speech therapy.
00:57And I am a lot more fluent.
00:59But, you know, at American Idol, I was saying that I was going to not use the techniques that I learned and I was just going to speak how I normally speak.
01:06And I knew that I was going to stutter more under that environment, which was scary at first.
01:10But I knew, you know, I had to be brave and I wanted to, you know, be something that, you know, maybe a kid at my age when I was really young and I didn't raise my hand in class, could watch my audition and, you know, be watching it and feel inspired or feel inspired to, you know, do something big or even just raise their hand in class or something small like that.
