Library of Dysfluent Voices is an open-source collection of voice recordings celebrating stuttering and speech diversity. In collaboration with Luke Wyland and Methods Body, we are proud to present this important, ever-growing hub for the dysfluent community and our allies.
Communication differences and disabilities often carry with them a lived experience of internalized shame, driven by societal stigma around dysfluent speech. One of the central motivations for the Library is to subvert this masking and shame by platforming different forms of stuttering and dysfluency.
If you are a person with a dysfluent voice, we invite you to submit your own recording to be added to the Library!
Recordings from Library of Dysfluent Voices have been featured in Covert/Overt, a sound art composition by Portland duo Methods Body—Luke Wyland and John Niekrasz.
Using the initial 36 interviews that started this library, Methods Body drew inspiration from the rhythmic fingerprints and cadences of different individuals’ voices. They employed technological refraction and acoustic syllabic mirroring to musically explore different forms of verbal dysfluency. Click here to watch an excerpt!
