Wow! It was worth the effort. Whenever there’s time to prepare like that it’s the most productive method. I’m a 77f, not much opportunity to present formally, but your method would work for me....

I think that this is a great idea and glad to hear that you found a solution that works for you. I did something similar but slightly different before Zoom days when work from home was audio only. I...

My hearty wishes! For interviews, I would always write, punctuate and by-heart some common answers such as an introduction, my aim, my wishes and my achievements. This gives me the freedom to choose e...

Been there, done that. Most of the time, first name is enough. Don't push yourself with the whole name if it's not necessary. So that takes away half of the problem. Now, your first name for sure has ...

Thank you so much! I’ve downloaded a few apps and have actually been trying to read out loud for 30 minutes a day. The speeches are also timed as well so it should prepare me for being up there by mys...

I also had to take a class like this, as someone who has been stuttering since I could talk. I think this could actually be an amazing opportunity to practice your public speaking and improve your stu...

Any tips?

Any tips? Hey everyone! So I am in community college and a requirement for me to get my degree is to take a speech communication class. To summarize, we will basically learn how to craft and then pr...

I didn't like it because I couldn't fully focus on my conversation (I kinda don't mind my stutter honestly, if my brain wants to stutter I won't fight it most of the time), I felt like my speech wasn'...

I have struggled with stuttering my whole life, and it did not get better as I got older. I've been a professional wrestler for 15 years, and I am not one to acknowledge that I do stutter, nor do I ju...

Definitely. I mentally prepare for like a week to call my car dealership and book a service. One of my local pizza-places accepts online orders and that is probably the sole reason I don't use anyone ...

Introductions are so hard

Introductions are so hard I started a new internship and we’ve had to do a few self introductions through teams. It has been very hard. Out of the 3 so far, I’ve come up with a few different reasons a...

I've done a lot of phone call practice. Start by calling people within your comfort zone (family, friends, close work colleagues) and then branch out more and more to strangers (hotels, restuarants et...

Is this safe? I sometimes get stuck on words or repeat them and I’m trying my best to control it but it’s hard sometimes because if I get excited it gets bad....

OP, I feel your pain as being a stutterer as well. This year I will be 48 and been having a severe and debilitating stammer my entire life. I remember when I was in primary school when our instructor ...

I was started on 1 mg and later(soon) will be increased to 2 mg. I’m a senior patient so we try the lowest possibility dose to be effective....

For formal meetings with structure, I plan ahead. I write notes and ensure I know the topic. This makes it much easier to focus on technique and getting to say what I want, how I want to say it. I...

I would say that preparing to talk about a topic, whether it's a school presentation or casual conversation on a topic, does reduce my stress, by taking away any anxiety that I am not prepared to spea...

I do this too! I think it’s cause of excitement and being with people who I know and I’m close with. I just laugh it off majority of the time cause everyone I’m close with knows I stutter and 10x wors...

Same!! Whenever I'm excited, I start stuttering a lot more....

Same! When I get excited or happy drunk I just wanna say so many things but my poor tongue can't keep up lol...
