My Speech on stammering Im 16 and I have had a stammer for pretty much as long as I can remember and I’d say it’s been 8/10 for most of my life. I recently had to give a speech for my English GCSE speaking component. It had to be a 5 minute speech on a chosen topic we are passionate about so I decided to talk about my stammer. I wrote the whole speech out and rehearsed it a bunch of times in my room and to my parents and I knew the exact spots I would get a block. When it came to it and I watched everyone else give their speech first I was so nervous and sweating so much. Watching everyone’s faces change as I blocked and sputtered my way through the speech was quite hard and not enjoyable but when I was finished I just felt a sense of achievement which was pretty good. I also ended up getting the highest mark possible which was a really happy moment for me. What are your experiences with giving speeches or public speaking ?
