That's a great point. I'm glad you realise this conundrum. I had the same issue. I was told to read out loud. So I did, but I rarely ever stuttered when I did unless I was super in my head, trying not...

I agree with what most people here are saying. If you like doing it then don't let your stutter keep you from doing it. Maybe you'll even end up feeling so comfortable with your choice that the stutte...
