Hey, I’m a junior who has to do this today as well. It sucks, and I’m sorry you had to go through this. What has helped me are a couple things: 1. Writing to speak. Instead of just focusing on your speech, actually write out what you want to say. It takes your attention away from the speech itself, allowing you to read aloud what you’ve written. So, as you’re writing the words, say them out loud. Being quick about the reading makes the stutter go away for some reason. 2. SLOW DOWN. I can’t stress this enough. We stutterers tend to talk very fast, mostly out of fear that we’ll stutter (by talking fast, we think we’ll beat it or something, like it’s a race.) Just take your time. Breathe. Feel your vocal folds get relaxed. However, you shouldn’t take forever to do this because people are waiting. When it’s your turn to talk, I suggest taking a long deep breath, not necessarily noticeable, and then as you breathe out, begin your sentence. And the most important of all... 3. As dumb as it sounds, the key to fighting stuttering is go out into the world and TALK. My stutter went tremendously down once I tackled the stress part of public speaking. It can be as simple as talking to a friend, to as complex as ordering multiple items off a menu. Whatever it is, practice it. Yes, you will slip up, but it’s okay! Keep your eyes on the prize and smile in the face of stuttering, and talk! Easier said than done, but it honestly works! I’m always here if you need to rant or just talk. Just message me here and we can talk!
