Audio Samples of "Adronian" Exercises
The following audio clips (in WAV format) are to assist readers of Understanding & Controlling Stuttering in the "Adronian speech" exercises, described in Chapter 26 of the book. These samples will be meaningless and of no value if you have not read the detailed explanations and instructions in the book. As explained in the book, Adronian speech is an exercise intended to reprogram the way in which we process speech. It is not a "fluency technique" for ordinary speaking situations. Each practice session with Adronian is followed by a transition into "Modified Adronian" and finally into "Resonant Speech." One must also maintain all other elements of Valsalva Control, including Valsalva relaxation, abdominal breathing, relaxing the abdomen when you exhale, and coordinating the beginning of each spoken phrase with relaxing the abdomen. Adronian speech is only one of several Valsalva Control exercises described in my book. Phonation in Ordinary and Adronian Speech The voiced sounds (those accompanied by phonation) are shown in italics. Ordinary Speech Sound: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.Voice: v vv v vv v vv v v vv v vvv v vvAdronian Speech Sound: Aaaa-Beder-Biber-bigged-a-begg-ov-biggled-bebberz.Voice: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvNow here are some audio samples of how the Adronian exercises described in Chapter 26 of the book might sound: Sample 1: Adronian speech ("Peter Piper"). Sample 2: Adronian speech (reading from Chapter 1) Sample 3: Modified Adronian speech (reading from Chapter 1) Sample 4: "Resonant Speech" (reading from Chapter 1)
