When I begin to stutter I stop talking, no sense in trying to force it. I take a breath and on the exhale I try again. I also practice common things I know I will be saying a lot like my name or something. If I find it’s hard to say , I switch it out with something that is Easy to say Sometimes I tap my thumb to my forefinger on each syllable to slow my ass down, or tap my foot to each syllable in formal settings.
