conference call failure

conference call failure I was hoping this conference call would go better than others in the past, it didn't. I kept stuttering on certain words that are unavoidable. They were quiet, as if they didn't know how to react to me. I even stuttered a ton when asking "are you guys still there??" I already chose a field that requires little speaking (software), but how am I supposed to strike partnerships and attract business partners ? sorry for the rant, but its so damn frustrating to be stuck in my body and not be able to express myself.
