I agree with others that stuttering during a presentation is not a big deal. Of course it feels like a big deal though. And I always try to go first since my anxiety just builds. For me, preparing for a presentation is all about reducing anxiety, not reducing my stutter. How I do that is I over prepare. I write down everything I am going to say and do. Everything. Including small things like "point at 3rd bullet point on slide." I leave room for impromptu tangents if they hit me during but I don't expect that to happen. I also break my "speech" into smaller bites with the word breathe all alone separating them. I basically leave no work for my brain to do while actually giving the presentation. By the middle and the end my anxiety has reduced enough that I can actually think, thus I can answer questions well and go off script if I want to. However, knowing that everything I need to say is in my hand and that I don't have to go off script is a comfort to me. If you do go the speech route of presenting remember to look at your audience often - but if that makes you more nervous, don't actually look at them. Look over them as if you are looking at a back row that doesn't exist. Personally, I find one person in the audience that looks nice and who's paying attention and mostly look at them, and slowly as my anxiety lessens I look at others. As a graduate student I've given lots of presentations so I feel like for a long time I wasn't able to actually look at anyone while presenting. However, it is important to look like you are even if you choose not to. Lastly, remember that you are in control of the presentation. You can walk to and fro a little, you can sit down, you can pause and ask for a moment, you can tell your audience that you stutter at the beginning if that helps, you can do whatever makes you more comfortable, within reason of course. It is your presentation and you have important things to say. And it will end! One other thing. It helps me to gain confidence if I ask people I know who are present during my presentation for their thoughts on my performance. Usually I get the "it was good" response and have to clarify what I want from them, i.e. my presenting style/skills. You know where you think you did poorly already and usually, if you are like me, it's much worse in your mind than in others. Furthermore, you can learn from their feedback. Presenting is a skill and you get better overtime and by receiving quality, honest feedback. Good luck!
