There are ways to hack stuttering at least for the short term, just try getting drunk or doing some type of mind-altering drug. I really mean this with respect though and I respect fluency shaping - without these techniques I'd be screwed and probably at a very severe level of stuttering. Fluency shaping is definitely my favored method at the moment, but it does have its pitfalls. To an extent it limits your range of communication to planned, exercised speech as opposed to spontaneous, sharper speech or quickly changing tones or doing impressions like a lot of good comedians do. IMO good communcation involves a lot of these tonal changes.
