. They don't stammer while dey re singing

One of the enigmas about stuttering is that most
people who stutter when talking don’t stutter
when singing. Actually, it is often thought that no
one stutters when they sing, but I have observed
a few exceptions. Of many people who I have witnessed them singing, a handful have
stuttered occasionally when singing, particularly
when starting to sing. Nonetheless, stuttering is
very rare when singing.
An acceptable theory of stuttering has to account
for this phenomenon. Therefore, I am going to
explain from the perspective of my theory why
people who stutter don’t stutter when they sing
and what the difference is between speaking and singing.
When singing, the subconscious intent is to produce a voice
that contains a sequence of varied vocal tones. This
sequence makes up the melody of the song. The melody of
a song is developed in the brain. As this is done, the motor
area of the brain sends signals to the muscles of the larynx
so that they will vibrate with the right pitch and rhythm. If
you want to see this for yourself, sing a song silently. If you
become aware of what happens in your throat, you will
sense that your vocal folds are prepared to vibrate, even
though you want to remain silent. The brain sends these
signals automatically whether you are singing silently or
aloud. Singing is all about voice and melody. When the
song contains lyrics, nothing changes. The speech sounds
are formed automatically without any thought or effort.
Singing works this way for almost all people.
For the fluent speaker, speaking and singing are created in a
similar way from the same exact anatomical structures. The
same signals to vibrate the same vocal folds are
subconsciously sent from the brain. This creates intonation,
the speech equivalent to melody. Intonation becomes
speech sounds as the mouth moves automatically. This can
happen because fluent speakers are not aware of the words
they are saying. For people who stutter speaking and
singing are done differently. When speaking, the focus of
attention for people who stutter is the words. In one way or
another, they are concerned with saying words and “getting
them out”. Intonation takes a backseat as the brain tries to
control word formation. Subconsciously, the brain is busy
sending signals to lips, tongue, jaw, etc. Instead of the
mouth automatically shaping the voice (intonation) into
speech sounds, the voice becomes a vehicle for pushing
out already formed speech sounds and words. For people
who stutter the processes of speaking and singing are done
very differently. For people who speak fluently, they are
almost identical. And to the best of my knowledge stutterers or stammeres happens to be the best singers. They don't know how to speak well but singing is one thing they love doing though the case differes from human being to the other but to the ones I have come in contact with they are the best. A good chorister will confirm what I have just said.

Stammerers be like "d...dddooorrroo dododorrrrro bbuccccchi"
