Keep going. I know it sucks. You are going to have an interviewer that gets it one of these days. Either they stutter or knows and loves someone who does. Focus on communication and always remember to...

I know that, but I can't bring myself to do it. That other guy telling me about medication seems more reasonable than spending an hour each night reading aloud, I don't have an hour each night I can s...

This is what you need to do. Most of the tension is because we overthink the event too much before the event itself. So you should prepare the viva and when u feel you have enough preparation for it t...

I think the thing to do is to give your speech. Make sure you practice it plenty so you know where your stops are going to be. That being said I don’t know your level of stutter...

Rehearse your words and behaviour in advance, this is the first and foremost. Also you may take an anxiety drug (e.g. valerian root tincture). Helped me a lot. My very first interview was a year aft...

Im not sure if this applies to you, but at least for me one way I manage my stutter is by basically having pre-made phrases that I pull up when needed, usually phrases that avoid some of the sounds th...

I get that it would be WAY easier with a keyboard, and WAY faster. In my opinion though, using a keyboard puts a barrier in that 'face to face' scenario. This is how I usually go about it. First t...

Seeing as you have only a day left you can start by telling people such as the lecturer you stutter. Hiding your stutter makes it worse. University students are generally much more mature than student...
