First and foremost: talk to your school's disability services. They will be in your corner and will help out immeasurably. Now, that aside, here are some of my tips I used back when I was a nationally-ranked champion in speech competitions: * Practice, practice, practice. The more you know the words (to the point of memorization), the better your fluency will be. If you have a struggle remembering the words, you'll have even more of a struggle speaking them. * Memorize your breathing within the speech. Plan to take breaths in certain places. One of the number one causes of stuttering is poor breath control. * If you have notecards, when reading them, have your finger lead each word or phrase just before you speak them. * Take deep breaths, so you get the maximum amount of air in your lungs to carry through each phrase until your next planned space to breathe. * Use and abuse the [Gentle Onset technique](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW5omIWib40). * Try out, utilize, and eventually refine [Light Articulatory Contact](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGqkzsuzH1o). * Stand your ground firmly, but don't lock your knees. No pacing! Only step when moving on to a new point. * Use your hands, but don't wave them like an idiot. To specify, I only ever show my palms, give a fist, or point when speaking. For example, serve the audience a plate when delivering a main idea or clarification (palms); when inciting camaraderie, give the short fist pump in front of you (fists); and when bringing up entirely new information, point to it briefly (visual aids help). * This one depends on preference, as it helps me, but not everyone employs it: Keep eye contact with a select few. When speaking to a group, you forget that they are people who are supporting you and want to hear your speech. By looking people in the eye, I gain confidence, and with confidence comes fluency. * Finally, you also need to practice getting into a real speech block or bad stutter. To do so, force yourself to stutter even when you are fluent. This is a technique called pseudo-stuttering. By pseudo-stuttering, you practice how you would use your fluency techniques to elegantly get out of a stuttering block. It will feel forced and stupid at first, but it really does help out in practice. I hope this helps, and best of luck, my fellow comrade.
