My advice would be a stabilising statement like "Hello, I'm ______, here to help. So you know I have a speech impediment, so just bear with me if that flares up." It helps because it can be rhymed off...

It seems hard to do, but for me it helped. It helps with the speech anxiety for sure. And don't assume because they hear you stutter they know that it's stuttering. If you feel uncomfortable straig...

My best advice is to tell them that you stutter. Of course they may hear it anyway, but it will help YOU to tell them that you stutter. This is a leap of faith, I realize, and I hope you will trust me...

I would emphasize making ur mind focus on the tone of what you’re saying(you’re pitch, attitude and such) rather than whether you’ll stutter or note; this will keep the brain preoccupied and will like...

I would say so if you're considering it. Say something along the lines of "I just want to let you know that I do have a stutter so in case you hear it, I'm not just nervous." Depending on how serious...

I always let them know beforehand, so people know what to expect and allocate more time for me. Most people are very understanding, don't put too much pressure on your self. I know its hard, but you c...

If you want to. “Sorry, I’ve always stuttered. It flares up when I’m nervous.” Or something of the sort. Or just let them figure it out for themselves. I don’t think it actually matters....

I have a mid stutter, so what I do is before I talk to any person I've never met before. I just tell them off the bat that I stutter. It makes it easier for me. I think talking and not worrying about...

Thank you. What I do in interviews is that I always disclose that I have a stutter at the beginning of the interview after they ask their first question. Reliefs a lot of the tension. Best of luck!...
