I am one and I love public speaking. Oddly enough growing and doing presentations in high school that's the only time I never stuttered. Face to face with a girl I liked, or my strict mother on the o...

I'm an attorney who has been a life long stutterer. I am a litigator in court, and I can tell you that I still get worried about stuttering during a cross-examination. I consider myself successful (th...

My SLP said she would probably classify me as someone with a moderate stutter but I've let it impact my life severely (before I started to work with her). I do analytics and reporting for a healthca...

Maybe you should pause and think for a moment before starting fights on a forum made to help people, Nukefudge. This is directly from Toastmaster's website: http://mediacenter.toastmasters.org/index...

alright. when a stutterer comes to a stuttering sub, why would you recommend things that are not geared for the specifics of stuttering? OP will not overcome stuttering by learning to give oral prese...

participating in toastmasters gives OP the opportunity to practice oral presentations. How does this not make sense why that would be beneficial?...

why would OP come to a *stuttering* sub and ask about general performance? also, OP does stutter. "toastmasters" still makes no sense....

but OP didn't ask about managing stuttering, but oral presentations. The public presentation of information through speech is a skill that requires cultivation (there are very few naturally gifted ora...

anecdotal, innit. stuttering _specifically_ is not handled by "toastmasters". stuttering is not just a matter of "improving public speaking"....

I think this is really great advice. One of the best things to when you're anxious of public speaking is to practice public speaking! ...

I completely disagree with you. Toastmasaters is an organization for the practice of public speaking. This is directly relevant to the discussion on tips to deal with oral presentations. I've known se...

Hi nukefudge, I definitely get where you're coming from. And I don't want to say that what I see or experience is the same as others. The first thing I want to point out is that the piece is about wha...

Reading this made me feel very happy with myself. Just like yourself, I am 18, and have stammered since a young age. Small groups or friends is usually no problem, but required public speaking, especi...

my flavor of stutter is not particularly covert-friendly - it becomes fairly obvious after a couple of sentences. When meeting someone new it's sometimes funny to observe their faces become stained at...

I am a journo - ah the hilarious irony of it all. Anyways, so i went to this press briefing a couple of days back. We had to meet this newly minted executive and learn about his company\s product and...

I just graduated with BSME degree, and I feel the same way that you do. I'm going back to school for a Masters degree, and I'm so scared of having to present research findings. There's definitely a re...

I'm finishing up my PhD in Speech Science. There are loads of stuttering scientists interested in the problem of stuttering and speech production. Other than my area I'm hard pressed to give you any s...

I've read Isaac Newton stuttered, how accurate that is I couldn't really tell you. I'm no scientist, but I'm a journalism major. With that comes a lot of writing, which I personally love doing. But wi...

Guys!!!! I did it. I spoke my seminar fluently,like from begining to end... wooh hooh :' D I had to speak in an auditorium. Before the seminar i had to wait fr like 4 hrs fr my chance. Yes,i experien...

Wow thanks! Chances are I will probably have to be on Blinn Team via Holistic review, but from what you said it sounds like a good stepping stone! The public speaking class has got me worried, we have...
