I think what's angering people on here the most about your post is how you approach the stuttering as if it were a "problem" that is self-induced. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt though, beca...

Dont listen to the others, there are ways to reduce the rate/severity in which we stuter and since speech therapy has helped him he knows this as well. It could be that he is simply too tired after so...

When I say simulation, I mean exactly that. If you've ever tried VR, it's pretty amazing and immersive. Head-tracking, immersive field of vision, real world scaling all aid to make whatever it is th...

I wish people around me held my feet to the fire more. I had a few teachers who let me give presentations alone to them, instead of in front of the class, for example. I benefitted massively from fina...

I ended up doing these so often when I was in university that, by the time I was done, I saw no reason to get nervous. However, I would still get nervous automatically when I knew I had to introduce m...

i was thinking about signing up for the McGuire program in DC, i really hope this program works or puts a dent...

I've been to one when I was around 12-13 years old for a few sessions. So I only have experience with what I did. But a large part of it was practicing how to speak slower and start out my sentences s...

It truly is and sometimes there's not much that you can do. But don't let that stop you from trying. Here's a few tips that had sometimes helped me when I am speaking in public: 1. If you feel that...

The McGuire program doesn't claim to cure, in fact it explicitly states it on just about every piece of literature that's been published. They do, however, encourage students to work towards 'self-act...

If you want to take it, take it! Public Speaking is an invaluable career skill, regardless if you have a speech impediment. Most people are so nerve wracked doing it that no one while think anything i...

Absolutely. Preparing like that just serves to build up anxiety. I've found I'm usually much more fluent when I just kinda talk instead of thinking too hard about what I'm going to say. ...

He labeled himself as a severe stutterer in that video but on his first day video I see no severe stuttering at all. About McGuire, it helps many people out becoming a more controlled/eloquent speaker...

I think that preparing what you might say in certain situations can lessen the anxiety of speaking. You can probably anticipate a majority of what they'll ask you (where you grew up, how you met, etc)...

I would do it just to reduce anxiety. The most important thing is to be as prepared as possible for the interview....

Even though it's always obvious, I have never revealed my stutter...until my last interview. It was for an internship I really wanted, so naturally, I was freaking the fuck out. When I was asked to te...

Trust me i was bad (in every sense of the term). Not "prepared" because I didn't know i had to present myself and my work. It was a basic dialogue, i know the subject, but i have huge difficulties in ...

When you say, practicng and visualising the presentation, what do you mean exactly? I have a number of impending presentations in school and I have done nothing but stress and worry about them. Is the...

Practice saying your name in a mirror. It seriously helps! In a business setting, I prefer handing them my card, and using only my first name in introductions....

I have a couple thoughts. 1) It's your wedding so you can do what you want. As long as you're willing to go against tradition there are no rules saying you have to say vows any specific way (or eve...

First of all, congrats! Second, I would recommend doing a live speech instead of a pre-recorded one. I feel like it will fell more personal in the moment. You shouldn't be scared to stutter around you...
