Hmm, imagine you met someone with a very high pitched squeaky voice that made them difficult to understand. Maybe it's a defect in their vocal chords but they never talk about it and you never ask about it so you never find out. In your first impression that voice stands out more than anything else because it's distinctively different and of course it seems weird. And it would be so much easier to not pay it so much attention if that person could have just said "excuse my voice, I'm recovering from a car accident several months ago, etc. etc." You know they can communicate, they're not being nervous or faking a voice or anything like that. It stops being relevant. Regarding interviews, I know it isn't fair. As stutterers we can get screened out of phone interviews before we get a real chance to convey the important info about why we should be hired. And it's still just as difficult in person, just more difficult to be dismissed for it. Plus it makes us sound less confident even if we might not be nervous. That's why I think it's better to address it up front and focus on the important stuff and not get carried away trying to suppress the stutter. If the interviewer knows you're a person who stutters, they know it's not just an effect of low confidence and they need to carry on with their task of determining if you're qualified or not. Job-hunting is tough and stuttering is a disadvantage to the process but not necessarily the candidacy.
