Absolutely! I don't know if i can call it tools really, but more of ways that i manage, not necessarily "good" if you know what I mean. (English is my second language btw) I can tell you my story and I have three things thats resonate with me from that chapter. I have always been extroverted and learned to read really fast, really like to tell stories and looked up to people who could tell stories in a good way, rhetorically. Then I got quite a heavy stutter around 10-22 i'd say (im 31 today), the first (tool) that works for me because I quite quick on my feet is changing entire stories to tell them with my words. The content is the same but I can phrase in a way I can say it. **But just like the police officer in the courtroom**, my stutter is the worst when I play a trivia game and I have the read whats on the note exactly. At 22 I somehow got to be a team leader of sorts and hold presentations, that was really scary and not so good at first. But I really like rhetoric and I am quite extroverted two things happend here: 1. In a good story you change the level of your tone to keep the listeners active, almost like I'm ready a kids book. For example If I knew i would stutter on the word t, I could go up or down in tone "I have noticed a TREMENDOUS(not loud but higher tone) increase in this area. **This is just like when he was dressed up and using the higher pitch voice.** 2. Body language, if I'm gonna stutter on the word "effective". I could say: "This hasn't really been effective" and while saying effective I put my arms forward in a way that's appropriate to the situation. Its literally helping me with the words out of my body. The thing I dont like about this is also like the chapter. I distance myself from the speaking itself, I cant really say its "me" who has that presentation more of a character that I have created. I **de-personalize the situation.** Deep down I believe I have to do or others don't want to listen to me, or feel bad me when I get stuck etc. That just original me, not rhetorical me is not good enough, if that makes sense?
