Recommendations for Upcoming Debate I'm having a debate in class on Wednesday but, I don't know what to do. I don't really do great in presentations unless I practice for several hours and familiar with the material. It did wonders for me on an algebra presentation I did last year. The first time I attempted it, I stuttered the whole through but after school, I put on a video of a person staring at me for 5 hours and I pretended like I was presenting to him. while I was pretend presenting, I was acting charismatic and I put a lot of energy behind my voice kind of like billy mays. The next day, my presentation flowed a lot better and unknowingly, I had stuttered a lot less. I want to try to do this same thing to prepare for the presentation but I'm going to talk a lot so I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use my speech strategies and my presenting skills. I have noticed that whenever I speak through my teeth, I don't really stutter that much but I still stutter on certain words, and I don't think I'll be able to maintain that. my presentation stop probably won't be more than 5 minutes but, I want to be able to have debates with other people without stuttering the whole time. I was so afraid that I couldn't do it that I had hid out in the bathroom for 2 periods, listening to subliminals and trying to make myself stutter less. I've been taking speech therapy, I practice easy onset all the time, and I listen to clear speech subliminals every day, so I know I'm on a path to redemption. I just wanna how I should go about this debate. How do you guys manage to have long structured debates with others without stutter as much as you usually do? Any breathing tips you wanna share? Let me know down in the comments!
