Megan also performs a haunting new song, 'To Or Not Let Go', from her yet-to-be-released album. The work is a meditation on the notion of beauty and a fitting follow-up to her highly personal and arresting talk.
Megan Washington is a two-time ARIA Award winner and multi-platinum album seller. The full depth and breadth of Washington's talent is perhaps best demonstrated in her critically acclaimed 'Insomnia' EP which was released in early 2012. Where most artists would have pursued obvious commercial routes, 'Insomnia' presented a darker, more intimate side to Megan's writing.
Megan headlined the Sydney Festival and sold out the Sydney Opera House Main Concert Hall with the ACO before relocating to London to commence work on her upcoming album with Sam Dixon (Sia, Adele). Megan Washington's first new studio recording in more than two years will be released in the second half of 2014.

5:42 perhaps little did she know that just a few years later, she would use that very voice to play the role of none other than, a very serene kindergarten teacher.

I stutter,my brothers stutter,my father stutters,my uncles stutter from both (mother and father) the sides. And the funny thing is my brother in-laws also stutter who have no blood relations with us. Whenever we meet we make it a funny reunion, making fun of each other and nobody gets offended. There are around 10-12 people in my joint family who stutter, whenever we meet we give rankings to each one, one who stutters maximum gets 1st position.

"Singing is the only way I feel so fluent" - God that hit so hard! I sing all the time just to hear myself be so fluent.

I have the same problem as her and could feel her tension while she struggled with her words but felt so proud that she was able to get through it. her singing was breathtaking and am glad she was courageous.

People who stutter are smarter than others. We are constantly thinking about speaking better while in conversation. So we r not only thinking about the content of the speech but also how to say it. More power to you all.

Sk: excuse me? I didn't catch it.
And the whole process repeats again lol.

This really hit home for me . Recently as a teenager, my stuttering has become very noticeable. When school starts, I start therapy. Seeing how she does the same things I do like word replacement and singing is almost a refuge, makes me feel better about my stuttering. I hope someday people will be more understanding about stuttering. People thought she was drunk. People think I'm not very smart, when in fact, I am the first in my class . I have a 4.0 .

As a stutterer living in Seoul, Korea, I could say that it is pretty much the same as to how people around you react. It's considered not normal and ppl think of it as something that you can casually make fun of. Over the years growing up, I have developed my own ways of not stuttering so I would oftentime look fine. But the truth is that I am spending enormous amount of energy in every moment I speak. Shout out to all the stutterers around the world!!

Never saw a person who had the same style of stutter as me. Cause people say "you stutter?" And they think it's not a big deal with this kind. But it is cause they don't know how it is until they live with it....like its so frustrating especially when ur a actress or performer when u have to speak

Her courage to speak in front of all them people is admirable. I have the type of stutter where I 'block' on words and nothing comes out. Very annoying but with practise, I believe a stutter is something that CAN be overcome. Never give up!

As a stutterer myself, she's absolutely right about those "ST", they get me everytime.
This really got me teared eyed as I also struggled with his problem along with alot of you in the comment section. I hope we'll all overcome in time

I also have a stutter I had my most worst experiences in middle school but now no one really cares about it and it's hard for me to read out loud in class because I stutter on almost every word it's frustrating and embarrassing I just wish I can speak more fluently and not get nervous when I talk to people or girls especially but glad to see this women come out strong :)

This is truly inspirational. I have struggled with my stutter for 34years, tried so many therapies, watched so many videos, used anxiolytics. Now I have admitted it's who I am. I wish I could speak fluently like everyone else (actually, I feel jealous when I hear people speak fluently). I am an intensivist working in the UK, but sometimes I feel i would achieve more if I knew how to speak better. It hurts when you know the right words to use but you had to replace it because you knew you were going to have a block. I have never spoken to anyone about these challenges because I feel no one would understand. I do hope we get a cure one day, I really do. But until then we keep working hard and dreaming big.

Hm.. I'm a Japanese teenager who have stutter like her, to me that speech was really impressive and just awesome, that I can't find appropriate words to compliment haha. Mine is not as bad as hers, but I'm also the one who shares those struggles among stutterers.
The thing is, I recently think that if there wasn't stutter I have, I wouldn't be who I am right now. On that point, I don't hate my stutter itself. What I don't feel well is, the moment I have to speak in front of people, I mean a lot of people, and start stuttering, and realising the all audiences are looking at me like "what the hell is going on in him?" And I'm like, "well nothing's going on but stuttering, what is it with you people?"
Before I heard this speech, I wasn't so afraid of being known myself as a stutterer because it will be known as so eventually... just let it be.
