I stutter in a weird way, it comes and goes and mostly presents as not being able to get my "S" or "M" sounds out. I do a lot of public speaking at my meetings (religious), whether it be from my seat ...

Question about public speaking

Question about public speaking Greetings, all! I had a severe stutter as a child - at the time, it was called a stammer. Fortunately for me, my elementary school had speech therapy services. By the t...

Oh I see. That sounds intense. My professor suggested I take some when I bombed a presentation but I didn't wanna rely on them. Ive done so many presentations since then that it's become kind of secon...

Lol ty. Idk if you ever saw the video on here but i performed in a talent show at my high school and i wasnt worried about that but talking face to face to 30 people is much more intimidating to me, i...

Hey, my senior year is about to start as well, and I'll say, my speaking requirements are still fearful events for me unless I specifically enjoy it. For example I'll be taking a film class that does...

Hi, I am a stutter who has presented her research at a couple of conferences, luckily just posters and small events. But presenting with a stutter is probably the most anxiety ridden thing we could do...

My First Ever Stuttering Lecture!

My First Ever Stuttering Lecture! Hey guys, long time no speak! Hope everybody here is doing well. Earlier this week, I travelled to London, England to deliver a presentation/lecture to a group of S...

My man! Two years and a half in and I can truly say: it's worse in your mind that it really is. For real, man. Before starting college I was fucking TERRIFIED. "What I'm gonna do?" "What they gonna t...

I'm probably not the best person to give advice because I am still trying to accept my stutter but I feel I need to say something here. I recently gave a best man speech at my brother's wedding. I don...

Hi there, life long stutterer here in my 40s now. Never really went to speech therapy except for the useless public school sessions. I never concentrated on making my speech fluent. My stuttering isn’...

Is there any specific advice on how to improve on public speaking. Also suggestions on what small steps I can undertake to reduce my fear are welcome....

That is really impressive and inspiring, the only times I've been fluent in public speaking is when I've rehearsed many times. ...

It was a pretty big surprise to me, to be honest. I was at a good 'level' with the booze at that point but I have also been experimenting with changing the tone of my voice. Lowering the octave a lit...

Hehe .. yeah I have hoped to be a speaker .. just a normal speaker .. but my stuttering stops me . But I’m curious, why do you say that ?...

I appreciate your comment. Don't happen to you that deep in your mind you want to be public speaker or something like that?...

What kind of therapy have you tried, and for how long? It took me about 2 years of weekly therapy to become fluent. I still have blocks, but it has changed from excessively long blocks on m's and r'...

Yeah I agree on both counts, but I would add as an asterix to #2 that severity matters. A person with a mild stutter might have problems being an air traffic controller, but being a teacher shouldn't ...

Point #1 - I agree. I wouldn't overstate the case, but I agree. Point #2 - You're not necessarily wrong, but you're a long way from right. For example, I have a moderate-to-severe stutter, and I'm e...

I mostly agree. I hesitate to call stuttering a disability, mostly because there are some people who have it much, much worse, but it certainly does put us at a disadvantage in life. It sure as hell i...

I don't know how bad their speech is, but past a certain severity it's just not appropriate to lecture. It's unfair to the students to take 5 minutes to say a sentence. ...
