I used to try to prepare the entire script of what I would say, but that doesn’t work well (or it needs 10x more practice than normal) What works for me is to have the outline of what I want to say. ...

I always disclose it to the hiring manager in order to get the elephant out of the room. After that, I’m more at ease, even if I still block during the interview. I still get hired most of the time. I...

I overly prepare and it helps me a lot. I also tend to be more bubbly and talk with my hands and I think it helps take my focus away from what I’m saying. If I know I can’t say a word like “engineerin...

I went through Basic Training (Army term for boot camp) in 2013. The Drill Sergeants were hard on me. Some laughed, made me say certain stuff they knew caused the stutter, etc. That said, not all of t...

hi if you struggle saying your name so much, just change it to something else that is easier for you to say. I did that when I had all kinds of trouble with the "B" sound of my first name. So I chan...

Before that! Or even read something off your phone. You just want to have flexed your voice enough to where maybe you wouldn’t stutter as much...

Yeah. I feel you. I have to mentally prepare every single time, even if it's the same presentation. My manager is happy to do it for me, but I forced myself to do it so I can practice....

Try reading a couple of pages from a book out loud before you go ask for them, think of it kinda like stretching...

Been a teacher and a professor. I found it very rewarding. I was super anxious for my first lecture (a 4-hour lecture), but once it was finished, I felt great. I had a little “cult” at my university w...

Also a thing that has worked for me is to record my voice speaking the entire presentation. No need to actually listen to it. You can just do it a few times and see how much time it took you to say t...

For me it gets worse when I’m stressed because I’m feeling unprepared or too anxious. So best thing is to be confident. 1. Prepare a bit the key points you want to say. Don’t try to memorise the e...

What I sometimes do is find a quiet place to prepare about 15 minutes before if I can. I close my eyes and take lots of deep breaths, and then read aloud to myself for a few minutes, slowly and with l...

Job interview

Job interview Hey guys, I’ve got an internship interview coming up. And I had a quick question. In y’all’s experience, is it best to inform the interviewers you have a stutter beforehand, or just go a...

There are several, but personally, I prefer to practice beforehand because if you're going to get stuck, you're going to get stuck. It's like studying for an exam; you can't do anything about it in th...

 When I'm anxious, my stutter gets worse and I feel like I hold so much of that anxious tension in my upper body, including my throat and voice. You sound like a guy who knows his body well. Id focus ...

Hey there You can stutter and still have an amazing life. I know it can be really frustrating! Sometimes those blocks can be so unpredictable. I have a moderate/severe stutter. Some days and in some ...

I don't know the extent of your stutter but my advice is prep, prep, and more prep. The advantage of a phone interview is you can use notes as prompts, and even read from them, without the interviewer...

Changed my avatar to show the hand clasp technique my Dale Carnegie instructor (A Former Stutterer) showed me 40 years ago. The C on top is for courage. Thumb between index and ring finger. Pump to S...

Just a note: I was also so afraid of not being able to say my wedding vows. Most people who stutter are fine in choral speaking. My husband and I said them together, it was perfect❤️...

It was easy as I had the script ready before hand and I was just reading that like reading a book (and it could be felt too :/ ) - otherwise it could be a nightmare......
