I have a mild stutter and Im a federal agent. I have to talk to people, arrest them and be aggressive and authoritative. I chose to not let my stutter limit me. I hated talking on the phone and still dread calling things out on my radio. Stop your whining and do whatever you can do accomplish your dreams. Thats what I did for this job and still continue on to do. I talked more on the phone, I talked more to people, I did whatever I could to ease my anxiety. And my best method was to tackle it head on and expose myself to situtations that I would stutter the most on.
