A few times. Shakespeare wasn't a problem though with the natural pacing, it feels more like poetry to learn. And just an obscene amount of editing for exactly when to breathe and where to stress words I needed to navigate. I did a musical comedy Oh What A Lovely War and had a bunch of characters to play, everyone did, one of my bits was a cleric saying a pray for the war, I used Peter Cooks cleric from The Princess Bride as inspiration and the musical director told me to speed it up and got under my skin with feedback that I was only doing it slow to hide my stutter. I had a few lapses but thankfully mostly around one character which translated okay but I knew I lapsed. Show must go on ✌️
