Speak loud and with exuberance Hi folks! A little story for you... I'm currently taking a public speaking course (I know, terror right?) and noticed that the instructor had a bit of a stutter while he loudly and exuberantly addressed the class. It wasn't much, just a few I-I-I's here and wh-wh-wh's there. I asked him about it after class and he said he didn't even notice! Also, I would bet that if I asked the rest of the class that they'd say they didn't notice either. I only did because it is something I'm familiar with. I encourage you to try speaking loudly and with exuberance and you may find that you, as someone that may experience stuttering, will appear to others as a fluent speaker.
