Alright, so I have basic fine motor problems. It affects everything I do in life daily. I also hate what it has done to my speech. It seems like, I was at a good pace in a race during grade school, but everyone sped ahead of me in my teen years. My speech seems to have stopped developing. I'm afraid that if I ever got the opportunity to be a famous Hollywood star, if ever, it will endanger my chances of that actually happening at all. I am not sure if it's a breathing or motor problem. I felt this way for years.

Are you studying to be an actor? I ask because of your comment about being a Hollywood star. I was a music major and I also studied acting as a minor. I found that when I am singing or when I am performing an acting scene, I don't have the speech issues that I have in regular every day speech.

No, I'm not studying to become an actor, but it was kind of something cool to want to pursue as a hobby.

It's a great hobby to pursue and you should give it a go.
