Off the top of my head here are some things that help me: - read out loud. I read to my kids every night and find that when I don’t read for several days my speech is noticeable worse. - try not to think about the mechanics of speaking when I’m talking to somebody. Think about what I want to say, what I want to communicate, listen, anything really except worrying about not being able to speak. - learn to not be embarrassed by stuttering. This is hard and takes time but honesty I’ve found it’s not that big a deal to most people when I stutter. - don’t worry if it takes some time for a word to come out sometimes. Stop, clear your mind and just say the word you want to say. Yes sometimes people will interrupt you or joke about you forgetting your name but just smile and don’t worry about it. - try to forget that you stutter. Sounds crazy but it really does help me. There are tons of resources and techniques for overcoming stuttering. Try everything and see what works for you. There’s not usually an easy solution but with time and practice you can figure out what works for you.
