Deliberately stuttering Has anyone just said F it and spoke freely so that they did deliberately stuttered? I tried this today and.....I spoke fluently. On the phone and at the bank. I stumbled with my words but it was a normal stumble. I felt like a kid who thought a monster was under his bed and finally took a peak and realized that nothing was there. Good posture, eye contact, speaking with confidence/deliberately stuttering, and just trying to feel normal and copying the way other people speak.....actually works. Try it.
