It’s been a hot minute since my college days, but I do remember learning about singing as one possible avenue of speech therapy in one of my classes. Something about using different parts of the brain I guess.

I wonder where the delineation between singing and rapping is in this case.

There’s a Dutch rapper called Typhoon who can rap but speaks with a stutter

.

Everybody’s saying that the Scatman stutters but doesn’t ever stutter when he sings.

Ozzy Osbourne is nigh unintelligible when he speaks, but then sings incredibly well.

ETA: fixed intelligible to unintelligible

That’s awesome. A certain bat eating musician has a similar condition. Speaks with an impediment but can sing perfectly well, because it uses another part of the brain! Or something. This is a Lemmy comment, not an academic paper.

Looked up a song and this interview, seems to check out

Interesting. I guess it’s not even having to put a tune to the speech, just trying to work it with rhythmn seems to help (at least Typhoon).

EDIT : I remember an interview where James Earl Jones (among others) have said they took up acting to help with their stuttering.

You’ve come upon a wall of text.

I read the wall of text. What do I learn?

A certain bat eating musician

Is this person famous?

Roll for intelligence with disadvantage

I’d put it at like 2 or 3 lines of text not counting keywords

min(3,9) = 3

You try to read the wall of text, but it’s written in a handwriting you have a lot of trouble deciphering.

You believe that it says that the pandemic caused people to stutter and that a bard was able to cure that stuttering by singing a spell of “Silence”. And that the bard eats goblins all day.
