I enjoy speaking in completely different accents and having various personalities: Farmer Bob - country accent Swami Vindaloo - Indian accent Mr. Know-it-all - British accent Spooky Wooky - Count Dracula Bonus points for dressing in character. It can be as simple as wearing a hat, although I highly recommend investing in a cape. Extra bonus points for pleasantly surprising a customer. I played Farmer Bob with my son, Bucket Boy, for an entire day in Australia. Given my skin color, it was highly awkward, especially when I introduced my son to the cashier as Bucket Boy. “This here is my son, Bucket Boy. We’re goin’ fishin’ today. Ain’t that right, Bucket Boy?” That’s how you turn the tables and make the person you’re speaking to speechless. Whenever a difficult number pops up, go Hollywood. Like myself, you may find that you stutter way less. Being silly and less inhibited are excellent skills to practice for stutterers. We tend to take ourselves way too seriously. P.S. Try not to get fired.
