Has anyone ever tried Toastmasters to help with stuttering? I’ve been stuttering since I was five. I’m nearly forty now and in a career where I have to sometimes give speeches, which for me, is mortifying. Recently I got put on the spot to speak in front of a large group and of course, I stuttered, stammered, my voice felt like it had gotten stuck at one point and in all, it was embarrassing. My stuttering has always given me low self esteem, like I cant even communicate effectively. Truthfully this is why I come across as very introverted and quiet in person. Even though I have things to say, I cant say it. :( But enough with the sad talk. I’m thinking of trying toastmasters. Maybe by having to speak in front of a crowd, more often, would help? Has anyone tried it?
