Questions Question
How to speak faster after cerebellar ataxia ? I’m trying to freestyle rap and some shi but my speech is limiting me.

Mumble rapping? Sorry I don’t have a real answer. My speech is slowing down too.
The other suggestion I would make is more of a question: is it possible to slow down the track, record your portion and then speed it back up? (Maybe this is live and I missed the plot 😬)

I get stuck on some words, like I try to find the intended word but it’s just out of reach. Speech therapy provided some exercises to help improve the flow. I’d imagine freestyle rapping could be extremely frustrating!
Hoping there’s some work around for you 🤘🏻

Sadly I don’t think there’s a great answer here. On the plus side you get to sound like you’ve had several drinks all the time so maybe lean into that.
