Help pls, I stutter on just 1 word I stutter on saying my own name. Can someone tell me what i can do? Background: M26 I generally speak fast and used to stutter at specific words but i sort my worked out and got a grip on them upto some point so i was someone fine. 1 year ago i had a viva exam and the examiner asked my name and as i was nervous at that time i stuttered on saying my name. Since then whenever someone asks my name i Stutter on saying my name. Im a doctor in real life now. I get asked about my name, I have to introduce by saying my name every day to my patients. After 2 weeks there is an English speaking exam where I'll start the test by introducing myself specifically my name. Help: i didn't used to stutter on saying my name before, there has to be a fix. Can someone please tell me how can i make it better? Fluency also matters in that English test and i fear that i might fail it cuz of the stutter i get on my name.
