No, I was so worried about knowing the material I didn't care if I stuttered. It was 3 people questioning me, 10 questions but each question was a big subject that they then delve into and ask further. So one question is really multiple. It's more like 10 subjects I should say. I definitely stuttered here and there but I was more agonizing over the hazy fog I had to wait to lift so to speak. Basically, I guess I was so nervous that even though I know I knew the answer, nothing was coming to me. So I'd just kind of sit there and wait a bit and eventually it would just finally lift and the answer came to me. Sometimes they asked multiple questions to help me out because they could see I was just drawing a blank for a while. I could ask questions too I was in deep deep thought, lol. With repetition or a little sound and breath out to keep the back end from closing, it would usually come out either way even if I blocked but I was just so happy to know the answer eventually that the time it could take to come out didn't matter to me. I was smiling the whole way through because I was pretty sure the answer came to me, lol. Honestly, when it comes to stuttering, I think people are by and large over any misguided or bad assumptions. They might just be confused at first but it is very admirable. There's no marks against you for it. I just had to be comfortable in my own shoes, care about the material and focus on what I could control and that was getting to the answer. I didn't care about how it would come out, I just went for it without a second thought and then if need be, played with it from there with the mentioned so called techniques above but either way...I wouldn't focus or get my hopes up on any particular technique anymore, we've made it this far and always came out the other end so to speak, one way or another, the less I think about it the easier it is, there's just no sense in getting in my own head over it, it doesn't do any good. Like I said, I would just focus on what I could control and the stutter...well...we've had it all our lives, it is what it is. Love yourself either way!
