I stutter on my name the most, so I stand in front of the mirror and practice introducing myself to myself in the mirror. I look them in the eye and pretend it's someone else. I do feel a lot more con...

My job requires me to get on a lot of meetings where I need to introduce myself and as someone who stutters while saying his name, I found that I'm most likely to stutter if I had to start with someth...

If you wanted to practice you could add me to discord. I can randomly call you and you would have a safe space practice getting going. I personally always try to say hello. I fall back to a “erm, erm...

Oh, I can feel it, man. I've got 'D' for thesis defense but anyway was employed as an interpreter two years later. I advise to prepare a presentation, as one of commenters said, at least with slides a...

Thesis defense in a day and I couldn’t be more nervous

Thesis defense in a day and I couldn’t be more nervous I have my thesis defense in a day and I am absolutely nervous. I've never single-handedly carried a presentation for more than 5 or 7 minutes. T...

Thanks so much for everyones comments, they have been a great help. I written the speech, just gonna give it a few reads through out loud. I'm still in two minds about mentioning stammer at start. I...

Yeah, I will have pretend conversations out loud when I am alone to help train myself to say different phrases fluently....

Practice the speech out loud (!) plenty of times. Keep it pretty short and try work on breathing and talking more slowly than usual. Also have exactly 2 alcoholic drinks...

Obviously practice it so you know it by heart. I would relax. You are surrounded by friends and this is a really joyous occasion. Half of the guests are going to be drinking. All the guests will want ...

Whatever you decide to do: stay or go it is fine. Speeches scare fluent and dysfluent alike. If you stay: Do you think you could write yours out word for word and read it aloud? I know a lot of p...

I feel your stress. I was nervous as hell but what helped me was practising reading it aloud over and over again. Lock yourself in a room and just read it out. Read it slowly and try and speak clearly...

Don’t sweat it. I had to do this and I stutter. I downloaded a best man joke speech from the internet (just google, there are whole sites for it for free) and got a great one and modified it a littl...

Anxiety-driven stutter

Anxiety-driven stutter I have a speaking exam in some days and I've been practicing. Since no-one in my family speaks English, I've been practicing on my own and everything has gone well of course, be...

I think he was trying to recite prepared/memorized responses last night and his responses in 2012 seem more off the cuff/improvised. I think he had a lot more issues with his stutter last night becaus...

I think his debate prep team had him memorize responses because their strategy was to fact check all of Trump’s lies. So, Biden ended up on stage trying to recite memorized responses and he started mi...

I’m (hopefully) sure that he’s just conditioned himself to not stutter in front of audiences. But the performance was pretty rough....

Same age, same position just a different mindset, what I did was practice, practice and practice. I was so much angry on my situation but I don't wanna waste my life regretting so I choosed working fo...

How's that going to work out? That depends on a lot of factors. But I think the main one is how much work one is willing to put into it. Comedy is hard. It takes a tremendous amount of work But I...

I write a script and read from it. After 20 calls, I've memorized the script and it's not so bad—until I get unexpected questions, lol....
