DnD is for EVERYONE

It's been a hot minute since my college days, but I do remember learning about singing as one possible avenue of speech therapy in one of my classes. Something about using different parts of the brain I guess.
I wonder where the delineation between singing and rapping is in this case.

There's a Dutch rapper called Typhoon who can rap but speaks with a stutter

Oh that's actually a known phenomenon music is a different part of the brain from speech for some reason. Lemme get on the computer with a keyboard I've got a few more fun comments...

Here's a ballerina getting activated like a fucking sleeper agent to the score from Swan Lake. I'd also like to comment that the way she's in the wheelchair and kinda slumped over to me suggests that the dementia has likely progressed enough that she's having trouble walking (it even affects muscle memory, eventually she may even forget how to swallow) so the fact that music can activate her muscle memory anyway is pretty cool.

If you ever have a relative with dementia that requires caregivers that are not family or friends (nurses, home health aides, etc) please put together two music playlists for me:
- one set of chill music I can play if I need them to relax for bedtime and stressful events
- one more upbeat set of songs physical or recreation therapy can play if they need to get them up and out of bed.

Everybody's saying that the Scatman stutters but doesn't ever stutter when he sings.

Ozzy Osbourne is nigh unintelligible when he speaks, but then sings incredibly well.
ETA: fixed intelligible to unintelligible

That's awesome. A certain bat eating musician has a similar condition. Speaks with an impediment but can sing perfectly well, because it uses another part of the brain! Or something. This is a Lemmy comment, not an academic paper.

Looked up a song and this interview, seems to check out

Interesting. I guess it's not even having to put a tune to the speech, just trying to work it with rhythmn seems to help (at least Typhoon).
EDIT : I remember an interview where James Earl Jones (among others) have said they took up acting to help with their stuttering.

Roll for intelligence with disadvantage

You try to read the wall of text, but it's written in a handwriting you have a lot of trouble deciphering.
You believe that it says that the pandemic caused people to stutter and that a bard was able to cure that stuttering by singing a spell of "Silence". And that the bard eats goblins all day.
