Does anyone know if there's a speech therapist in Indianapolis who can help with an "r" sound? It’s been a real struggle for me lately. 😢

I’m dealing with the exact same thing. I’m 20 and I just can't get my Rs to sound right. People constantly poke fun at me or joke about it, and while some think it’s "cute," I honestly just want it gone. It really messes with how I talk and makes it hard to come across the way I actually want to. :S

Does anyone happen to know the name of that therapy where they use some kind of little pump on your nose and you have to keep saying "chocolate" over and over?

I've been scouring the web but I'm coming up totally empty... I think it has something to do with practicing the letter R sound 😕

I've been scouring the web, but I’m coming up empty. It seems like it might have something to do with how people pronounce the letter "r." 😕

To whom it may concern,

Wrong thread. 😉

It’s a process known as... The Rockefeller attempt. Or just call it policing. Follow that link—it’ll take you straight to the right thread where all the details are laid out.

Greetings. 🙂

If you’re serious about fixing this, go see a speech therapist. Honestly, trying to self-correct with stuff you find online doesn't get you very far.
I’m 15, and I struggle with that same French "R" sound. It’s tough these days because people can be so incredibly obnoxious when they make fun of you.😢
I'm still weighing whether a specialist is the right move, but it might actually help. I haven't had any luck trying to work on it at home. :/

So, I’m struggling with my "R" sounds. When I try to hit that "R," I end up using my lips too much, which makes it sound more like a "BR" instead. Does anyone have any tips or exercises to help me fix this?

Thanks a bunch!
