Practice saying just your name. Skip the "My name is", "It's", etc. Make it something you're confident you can say, especially since you can't avoid it. And couple it with a handshake if you're meetin...

Not sure if you had your first day yet but to me this is easier because you know you will habe to say your name so you can be prepared. The worst is when someone asks your name out of the blue. With y...

so, i started reading "it" by stephen king, and the main character in the book stutters. a lot of the observations about stuttering are actually pretty accurate (except for the killer clown hiding in ...

Hey! Thanks for posting. So will this be in a group setting or 1x1 introductions? What works for me is letting the other person say their name first, and while they are speaking I am already begin...

Rehearse a couple of go-to answers. You should have an idea of what to expect in interviews by now. Rehearse-Rehearse-Rehearse! ...

I used to do it in the shower or alone in my room. Any time I could be alone, really. It's just a discipline thing. I really wanted to make it work, so I worked my butt off - I was only 12-13 years ol...

Haven't tried, but it's unlikely a pop-up will convince me to do something unless I truly forgot. Try coupling it to a routine you already do, like showering or brushing your teeth....

Remind yourself why you're doing the warm ups and why you want to do them. Similar to working out, consistency and motivation are important. Make it part of your lifestyle. You're not a stutterer look...

Sometimes the tool is putting a word or syllable in front of the main word. I cannot, for the life of me, say “Italy” (or similar word) alone (beginning of a sentence) under any condition - tense or r...

Before you begin you can do a powerpose. This is proven to increase confidence and has helped me personally with presentations...

Tell people I'm going to stutter beforehand, especially in interviews. It really helps for me, and for the other person too as they know what to expect....

What helped me a lot in university presentations was practicing what I was going to say at least six times so when I get up there, I know exactly what to say. Also, controlling anxiety before I went ...

That's what I did -- practice several time what I suppose to speak. I think the reason why I performed so "bad", because I was really frightened at the time of presentation. By the way, Thanks mate fo...

What helps me a lot, I write the full speech I’m gonna present and time it. I try to practice it alone then when I get confident enough I present it to extremely small audiences (1 to 3 people). I thi...

Practice Calls

Practice Calls I am trying to get some practice phone calls in this weekend for a job interview I have next week and I wonder what are some good places call. I have heard to call restaurants to reser...

Mine has always been so much worse when reading or reciting. I used to write notes for presentations, but eventually discovered I am much more fluid when I know the material really well and just impro...

I learnt that if I already know what I am gonna say, I would stammer a lot when I say it. So I don't prepare any speeches for interviews or conversations. Everything I say is spontaneous and that's ho...

Yes. Reading out loud is always more fluent than regular speaking for me. My presentations in college consisted of me reading out a pre written speech....

I attended the business school at my university so there were quite a few presentations. On the first day of class I would always advertise that I stutter so that the class would know. So during your ...

If you are talking about incoming calls; let it ring a few times, breath in and out slow, deep breaths, and figure out a designated pick up sentence like hello [name] speaking or whatever is comfortab...
