how do i get rid of my lisp?

i recently had a flu viral infection. lasted 5 days. after which i found that i had aqquired a lisp in my speech. i just had extensive medical studies done; cat scan, MRI, x-rays,neck ultra sound. a speech pathologist found no organic causes. i converse verbally for my living, and i am most distressed about this problem. anyone heard of this happening so suddenly before?

I have a lisp that I've had since I was a kid. It only became a problem when I took a carrer in acting. I have worked on it and it has vastly improved but I've got to a stage where I feel that I cannot improve it anymore. People have said it has almost gone, but when I get a phone call from a last casting saying that they would of offered me a major role if it weren't for the lisp I have to think it all out again. It is mainly dominate when I am singing for musical auditions some reason? Does anyone have suggestions how I can improve this so that it's hopefully no longer there for my acting work. Just to let you know that I cut the cord under my tongue to free it more to point for articulation. A singing teacher feels maybe my tongue is too wide?

Any help would be beneficial!

I hate my lisp... Especially with the "S" in the middle of my name, it makes it difficult to say without a pause. And talking on the phone--- forget about it! I heard you can cut the tip of your rongue off to get rid of it... Actually, that's how I came upon this.. I was looking up to procedure on ask.com. Good luck!

I have had a lisp since I was very young. I've gone to many different classes and doctors to try to get rid of it, but nothing seems to work. Are there some lisps that just never go away, or is mine just different, or am I just not trying hard enough? Please any help or comments would be greatly liked.

i was wondering if you could help me so i won't have a lisp any more. i get really embarrassed when i have to read aloud or do speeches in front of class. im 16 almost 17. and my with my lisp, i have one when i say something with a S or Z in the front or end of the word. PLEASE HELP ME AND WRITE BACK!!! I get made fun of all the time because of my lisp and i tend to be quiet and hold back on dicussions because i don't want anyone to find out about my lisp. and if igot rid of my lisp i would not be so stressed out about reading and talking to people! so please please help me!!!

I am so sad. I have a lisp and it makes me feel in adequate.

I'm 15 and i've had a lisp since i could talk and i hate it becuase people make fun of the way i talk and it makes me sad and mad at the same time but i don;t know what to do about it can someone help me out i would be really grateful if someone did thanks bye.

i have a lisp problem.... i also tend to studder. i am from sucker creek andi need help. I also get made fun of and sometimes at night i cry and hold my barney blanket close to my heart.

I had braces on my teeth for 2 and a half years and after it i had to have a retainer. I kept it on for about 2 years and I had to take it out when i got my misdome teeth out and that is when i found out it was as bad as it was. I believe one of the main reasons people might have a lisp with because of the shape and strucher of there teeth. I am a musician and I love to sing but sometimes the Lisp gets in my way and gets me very angry. I have no idea but i think doing toung twisters might help? Try Red leather, Yellow Leather. and just through out the day say that and try and go faster and maybe it will help.

im 13 years old ,i have this speech inpediment lisp thing, and whenever i try to pronounce a th sound i say V, for example i say "brover" instead of "brother". i use to have lots of friends, untill they noticed something about the way i talk. i still have a few friends that dont care, but now i have to deal with poeple making fun of me calling me retard and shit, i cant take it anymore, i almost commited suicide, is there anyway to make it go away?

I have had a lisp since I can remember.
I took speech lesson all the way up to
Middle School and it seems everybody
in my speech class fixed their lisp but now
5 years later I am in 10th grade and
still have one. It really lowers my confedence and I can't be myself around people. I always think about what I am going to
say and if it has a "S" or "R" in it I try to
change the word. Or just avoid the situtation.
This keeps me from alot of things. I hate having to read in class and when writing a paper I try to avoid useing words with a "s" in them which is nearly impossible. Is there anything that can help me get rid of this burden? It's honestly something I think about EVERYDAY.I just want it GONE!

I like lisps, I myself don't have one, but my friend and my step dad has one, i think there adorable :-] im 16 going on 17. I could imagine that it could be embarrassing though if i had one.

I've had a lisp for as long as I can remember but I never really noticed it till last year when people started joking on me about it. I dont know where a speech therapist is around me so I dont have anyone who can help me with it. I'm in my first year of high school. I dont need to have a lisp right now!theres all ready too much on my plate. How do I get rid of it?!?!?!!

i have one i get skitted how can i get rid of it ???? pleas help me !!!!

I have had a lisp since i can remember and i hate it. Yeah, its cute when you're a baby, but not a 14 year old. It's hard because around this age everyone meets new people alot, in different situations. And when you can't even get people to understand your name it's very upsetting.

I've been places to help, but they dont. Anything i can do. Please? people dont understand how hard it is.

i too have a lisp, it used to bother me a lot, but not anymore, even though ppl mention it occasionally and i get sad. i have friends who really don't care but i try to avoid the s sounds and c and x and z but it's hard to talk to guys because it makes you so self conscious. please help.

I have had a lisp forever. When do we get answers, how do we end the lisp madness.

I have a very very minor lisp. People don't even notice it. I just know because my aunt is a speech therepist. I practice in front of the mirror, keeping my tongue near the top of my mouth.
