If your stutter is mild then it’s beneficial to just let yourself not get bothered by it, and not hide it. Because if you start becoming self conscious and sensitive to your stutter, your subconscious will slowly start reacting to ‘speaking’ as potentially harmful and unpleasant. It will then put you into freeze, fight or fight mode in difficult speaking situations, which makes the stutter worse. Then the cycle continues and eventually you’ll start getting anxiety thinking about speaking. You have beautiful voice and speech pattern. I think you should just let it shine, stutter or not
