At the age of 13, I felt it was up to me to decide whether I wanted to go to church or be with my mates, and I chose to go to church.
From Gareth Gates
If I get a bad review, I don't take it personally because everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I'm part of a speech therapy course called the Maguire Programme. It isn't a cure; it's something you need to maintain and work on. I get days where I find things more difficult than others.
Breathing is fundamental to speech. A stammer is caused by erratic airflow, so if you have a smooth airflow, you have smooth speech.
On the McGuire course, there's a technique called 'cancellation' where negative experiences are replaced with positive ones.
Finally having the freedom to speak is a really liberating feeling.
