I think the best thing to do is to just say something small like “Hey, I might sound a bit weird, it’s because I have this stutter” or something like that. Try not to make a big deal about it, because...

I've personally gotten so much more mileage out of giving up on the idea of perfect speech or avoiding stuttering. I mean, of course I try to not stutter, but I try not to let it become my focus. Inst...
