Participated in a model UN debate and dominated the conversation. Feeling proud :) Moderate stutterer(every third senetence). Fuck I'm so happy. I spoke more times then I can remember to count in fron...

I did one at end of bachelors, end of masters and now frequently during my PhD. People know I stutter but it isn't that bad in general (have bad days though). For my bachelor's I didn't mention it to ...

Yeah that might help, thanks! How do you deal with the anxiety, if you have any? I know that by the time I'm setting the date for the presentation I can't think of anything else until then. I prefer s...

Practice practice practice. In my program I took we had to take a public speaking class which included 10-12 presentations infront of the class. Best way to avoid a storm of stuttering from being nerv...

College student and SLP undergraduate here that stutters. As many you've probably experienced, the classroom can definitely be one of the hardest environments for us. Recently, I had to introduce myse...

Well done, agree with everything you've said in the video and here. I've been meaning to get back to Toastmasters....

I'll go even one step further (yes, I'm feeling philosophically rambunctious today) and say that our stutter can turn into a drive for self-improvement. It is not spite of, but arguably BECAUSE I stut...

Way to go man, I've drastically improved my stuttering as well thanks to public speaking. Keep it up!...

I feel for you. Do you think it's because of your stutter that you're not getting the jobs? Just curious, do you tell interviewers about it beforehand? Maybe if you told them at the start of the inter...

Best of luck for the upcoming presentation. Ive heard advertising your stutter makes it easy on both sides. You are not trying not to stutter and the audience understand and focus on what you have to ...

This. NSA meetings are great for meeting or people who Stutter and sharing your experiences. Toastmasters are great for practicing public speaking ...

Being tired makes it worse. Too much coffee makes it worse (I'm interested to see that this has been others' experience as well). So if I have to do any public speaking on a particular day, I lay off ...

i would bet there is an NSA chapter in your area. i went to the one in boston a few times, and it's a great safe space to open up. it's also a way to interact with people in person where you don't thi...

Great post! I'll be starting a job soon which will involve speaking almost daily in front of small groups. I've done this before at work, albeit in a different, more familiar environment. I'm fluent...

I can remember doing a presentation back in 7th grade, and I was quite nervous about it. When I was called to go, I went, and that’s where it went south. About halfway through my speech, my teacher co...

My little one is an extrovert. I’m trying to raise him so his stutter doesn’t hold him back. Can I say how awesome the NSA conference is? It’s a safe space filled with opportunities for public speak...

I get what you're saying and 100% agree, and I've not let my stutter define me and I've achieved a lot, university, traveling, friends, job etc but there is some stuff where fluent speech is pretty es...

Any tips for controlling my stammering?

Any tips for controlling my stammering? So, today I had my first presentation of life (I'm 20 years old). Needless to day, I stammer like hell, fumble on the word a lot. The professor asked to calm do...
