I'm 14 and I've had a frontal lisp my whole life. Nobody ever taught me how to make the "s" sound properly so I've had to find out on my own and this video was really helpful. I'm currently over 2 weeks in and I still occasionally lisp because I've been used to it for over a decade, but the change is noticeable.

I have a horrible lisp and sometimes people don’t even understand what I’m saying. what makes it worst is that I stutter a lot to. So this help a little bit thank you

I’m 23 and always noticed my lisp but nobody ever recommended speech therapy to me or my parents. I’m so self conscious/ insecure about it but this is helping me a lot. Thank you 😅

i am really insecure about my lisp and this video has really helped me, even though my lisp is not very very noticeable you can still hear it and i have had people point it out to me and it kind of hurts so thank you for this video!

15 here- I went to speech therapy for only two occasions. I guess they gave up on me and decided that I could deal with the bullying as I got older. I can’t. So I thank you, I am grateful that you’re striving to help people like me. Seeing all the other comments, it’s good to see that I’m not alone.

13, almost 14 and after almost a year of practicing and watching these videos on how to quit my lisp I can say that it is gone! I can now speak to people without worrying that they can’t understand me or will make fun of me.

All I want to say is thank you Emily and all the people like you for improving my life dramatically.

(EDIT: Definitely have a look at speech buddies if you are willing to spend almost a hundred dollars on fixing your lisp, you don’t “need” it, but from what i’ve heard its a good tool and i recommend anyone who is having issue saying any sounds to have a look at it.)

I didn't realize how much I sounded like a nerd for a long time... I'm definitely going to be using these exercises everyday

Lisps are like accents, they’re charming, and beautiful, only if you learn to accept it as your uniqueness. I have an accent myself and it took me a longer time to come to terms with it, my husband has a lisp, it’s beautiful, I love it. For years he tried to get rid of it since elementary school, because it took a huge toll on his self esteem due to his classmates and later on coworkers making fun of him, but he has accepted it as his own and loves it.
I think it’s important first and foremost to be comfortable with yourself, especially when you are deemed “different” by the “norm” created by society. And then decide to make a change, but only if it will change the way you see yourself, not others. I chose to embrace my foreign accent and he chose to embrace his lisp. And it’s incredible how even those around you will look at you and admire your uniqueness once you become confident about it.
I am thankful, however, for people like you who help those who want to change it.

I have been watching several videos to help my 6 year old with her lateral lisp and also open bite. Yours are definitely the best! She is doing speech therapy in school but I wanted to help her at home as well. Thank you so much!!

Tbh I can't hear it when I talk but when I hear myself talk I definitely notice something
Never actually labelled it a lisp but might as well try and get rid of it

thank you so much, no one has taught me how to fix my lisp for years, not even my teachers.

This is such a helpful video! I noticed my son not growing out of his lisp, so I’m looking for help as he is 9 years old now. Thanks for the motivation.

Great video and shows how great an information source youtube can be. I had lisp from a young age till I hit around 20 or so. I went to a speech therapist at age 7 and was quickly given up on. Got bullied for it and it definitely affected my confidence as a child and teenager. Eventually I researched the problem by myself. Unfortunately, didn't find a great video such as this but did find some of the tricks shown here like the straw one, via google. For those of you that have reached adulthood and have heard that its impossible to get rid of a lisp after your teenage years; I've been lisp free for around 10 years now. Only took me a few weeks to get rid of the lisp if I was focusing on my speech and around a few months to manage it without a thought.
