For many people, WhatsApp is a preferred social medium, and I have therefore also created such a group for people who are interested in learning, practicing and actually using the Passive Airflow Technique in real-life speaking.
This technique has helped many to significantly improve their fluency. Developed by Dr Martin Schwartz, it aims to reduce localized vocal-cord tension - the tension which, when it reaches a critical level, can result in the glottal freezing of the vocal-cord muscles and the resultant stutter.
WhatsApp groups enable users to post recorded voice messages, and I have found my Samsung mobile phone's microphone excellent for picking up what we call the "flutter" - the characteristic sound emanating from your lips when you use the technique correctly. In this way you can easily evaluate the quality of your airflows when listening to the recordings.
Feel free to join our WhatsApp Airflow group here:
