First of all, definitely keep the mic. I don't know why, but holding something in your hands, particularly a mic, will help. Trust me on this. Secondly, just practice it. A zillion times. Say it in t...

My SO has a severe stutter. He's been working on it. 2 years ago when we got married he was worried about the vows. He had a couple of blips but he got through them with no issues. If he has a microph...

Numbering was accidental haha. Practicing helps - definitely! That's a given. That's where you'll remember your talk which'll allow you to focus on how you're speaking. Good to hear your experiences...

Haha I'm not sure if you meant to do it but the list is just #1 repeated 3 times. Also, if its worth anything, I've had to do two big presentations to the VP of my company + about 30 other higher up...

My mother always told me to read Edgar Allen Poe aloud, and that if I did that every night I would stop stuttering. I've never actually tried that, but I don't think it could be that simple. Exercises...

Generally, I believe this is a person-to-person situation. I don't particularly like informing my audience that I stutter before I speak. I don't mean to be condescending whatsoever when I say this, i...

Yeaa.. Presentations fucking blow, but your appearance dictates how your class will perceive you. Be confident, dress to a T, and smile. Don't think about what will happen when you stutter, try and co...

Practice, practice, practice, practice. Whenever I need to do a presentation or a speech, I literally practice it until I know it by heart, then I do it some more. At least in my experience, by know...

Does practicing help?

Does practicing help? I always practice what I'm going to say, but when the time actually comes to say it, I have trouble anyway. Does practicing really help anyone?...

Congrats on taking that step forward and doing something you would otherwise try and avoid! I'm 28, and I've been blocking since I was four as well. I am now a test engineer for a ship building comp...

Reading out loud before you go to an event.

Reading out loud before you go to an event. Before I go to an event (birthday/meeting/whatever) I read out loud for a while in my room, either out of a book or just a website on my PC. I'll do this 15...

I have a mild stuttering disorder. In some situations I'm very fluent: with close family members (wife, sisters, parents), with people that I feel confortable (shy people or people in a lower social s...

Some random tips 1. Talk to your professors during officer hours about your stuttering. For me, when the professor knows I stutter, I feel less pressure and thus stutter less or don't care as much wh...

Yea, it's very difficult to feel confident regardless of how much you know. I still have a lot of anxiety when I have to present in front of people. Anxiety makes my speech blocks worse but I am notic...

Absolutely and thanks for saying this. Mine has varied more than I ever thought it would, and right now, I really feel like I'm getting to grips with what's causing mine. That seems to be: 1. Tiredn...

I stutter and have made a lot of presentations for work. I never wing it. I write my speech up on note cards and practice it by myself at least 10 times. That sounds like a lot but I make tweaks an...

Thank you so much for the advice. I am definitely going to preface my next speech with a warning and an apology for the last speech (I can't believe I didn't think of warning everyone sooner, I'm sure...

I can not stress 8 and 1 enough. There's no reason to hide the elephant in the room, just go ahead and expose it and get that over with. I had 2 classes last semester that were nearly 90% presentatio...

No man, its like progress report not like telemarketing calls. I need to converse with the client, but your idea seems to be nice I will make scripts prior to the calls. Lets see how it goes....

I found having a script helps. Will you essentially be saying the same thing on all phone calls? Write down what you would like to say. Then practice that script. ...
