Found a cool hack for fluent Presentations! - Just need a week preparation! **Have you ever felt more fluent when speaking along with someone, pronouncing the same words at the same time?** Hi everyone! I’m a 24-year-old who has been dealing with stuttering since the age of six. Last week, I had to give a final presentation in front of eight senior executives as part of my internship. I had worked so hard for this opportunity and feared that my stutter would overshadow my efforts. So, I tried a hack I had been considering for a long time. I’ve often noticed that I speak more fluently when saying words simultaneously with someone else. With this in mind, I recorded myself reading my presentation script and played it through an earbud while speaking along with it. The result? The audience was *shocked*! # Here’s how I did it: 1. **Prepare your slides** as usual. 2. **Write your script** from start to finish, aligning it with your slides. 3. **Choose easy-to-pronounce words**—avoid words that trigger your stutter (words that start with 'P', 'N', 'Q', 'B' or any other (depends on you)) (e.g., I replaced *used* with *employed*). 4. **Add punctuation and slide-change cues** in your script. I used “Ipo” as my signal to switch slides. 5. Now record the audio as per your puntuations. And by-heart the entire content. It took me about 12 hrs to by-heart the entire content with knowing puntuations. (places where I can pause). the bonus is, even if you forget things, the audio will help you remember stuff. So dont worry. 6. Put on your earbuds (wired or wireless) and **practice** by presenting the slides.(In the beginning of the presentation I said that I am going to use this hack and informed the audience that please ask your questions at the end of the presentation). 7. **During the presentation**, I played the recording in one ear because I was too loud with two earbuds and spoke along with it. This made presenting *so much easier*! Even if I forgot something, the audio kept me on track. I hope it helps. Let me know if you need anything,I can share the content I prepared. Since it contains confidential and personal data, I can share it through a DM. Have a good day, my people:)
