You’re going to love me for this 😁. 1. Omit the first sound/letter of the word you’re stuttering on and speak. Instead of saying, “Strawberries” say “Tahberries” People will still understand what you’re saying because their brains will fill in the sound for them. You might even notice yourself not stuttering on that word right after. 2. Speak Passionately. Bring your tone high to low making it your voice sound very authentic and natural. Like you’re your own narrator for a book. Speak loud and proud. In a way it’s like you’re singing rather than speaking and your brain doesn’t notice. 3. Brief pause every 7 words This is the hardest yet most effective method. Speak as if you would but give your brain sometime to think. My theory on why this works so well is because I’m used to writing down notes to speak and I haven’t really trained my brain to actively speak in sceneries I know nothing about. When ai speak this way and forced myself to shut off my brain. The words just come out of my mouth instead of getting halted by it. 4. Never follow anyone’s pace when speaking Human naturally disobey this rule to avoid situationally awkwardness. Let’s say, you’re on a date and your date speaking rhythm is up tempo. You try to keep up and as a result starts to stutter. Your date is just the way they’re and copying them isn’t be authentically you. To stop copying tempo you need to fully embody a confident, self respecting, and high prioritization version of yourself. Know that there’s no time allocated to talking to someone. You don’t have to keep at 60 mph even if the road sign says 60. Go as fast and as slow as you please. There’s no crashing in speaking. Hope this helps 😌
