I use a technique which I call establishing your 'speech floor' -> akin to getting comfortable on the stage floor before acting. Don't feel pressured to start saying valuable things right when you...

Anyone else not stutter at all when speaking alone?

Anyone else not stutter at all when speaking alone? I just don't get it. If I'm talking alone, I don't stutter at all. When I'm facing someone, it's like my entire vocal cords tense up and I stutter l...
