Not a stutterer, but what seems to help most people I talked to (both stutterers and fluent speakers) is simple. If you are on a zoom call, ignore the fact you are presenting. Just pretend to yourself that you are just talking casually about the topic. This is made easier by the fact that when someone needs to do research for a presentation, they usually become interested in the presentation topic themselves. My second greatest advice is that if your class or teacher don't know that you stutter, mention it beforehand so that they will not get confused when you get stuck. Casually mentioning that it can be considered a disability usually prevents most people from laughing as well (even if you don't consider it to be a disability yourself, people will take it more seriously if you tell them it is one, and then you can clarify at a later date.) And when giving the presentation, make sure that it is interesting. Don't just read your script out loud or recite a text in a monotone voice. Talk casually about stuff you found during your research or even your personal experiences with the subject matter when you have the chance to. The text is meant to be just a guideline for you to not forget anything. For example, if you prepared a script that takes you 10 minutes to read out loud, then you can add some free talking in between somewhere, or even deliberately leave a part out of the script which you will say with your own words, to make it 20. Finally, your stutter can even be helpful. Blocks take time, and if you want to get through the presentation ASAP, they are helpful in that you will have to spend less time actually talking. Now you might ask "well yes gs\_batta but you don't stutter, how can you have the audacity to tell me, a stutterer, how to do a presentation if you have no idea what you are talking about" and my answer to that is for 1 that I need to do a ton of presentations so I have experience, for 2 I know several stutterers and talk to them regularly, and I also have had to help fluent people often with presentations, and this advice usually worked for both of them, and for 3 I saw this post and I wanted to help. If you have any questions on how to make a presentation interesting, DM me. And good luck, I hope I was helpful. And I also hope that my English was understandable.
