I’m doing Law and Media, both of which I really love and include a lot of public speaking. I was aiming to do something a little more out-of-the-way but I went out of my comfort zone and chose stuff I...

Really in the same place as you, field and all and the only way it gets better is to get out of our comfort zone. Toastmasters is a good start to constantly practice. You can start off with an entire...

Getting Married Today Saying my vows in front of 100 of my closest family and friends. Stuttering is not holding me back! Much love to you all!...

This may sound weird, but for me in particular, watching politics, especially when politicians discussed issue in the House of Parliaments, made me feel better for some reason. Looking at the way they...

Weird enough, I feared stuttering in one-on-one conversation. I loved public speaking and didn't care of I stuttered. It's really backwards I know. Not sure how my brain wired that one lol...

I had a great experience with Toastmasters. Really helped with impromptu speaking and speaking in front of a group. They were very supportive and non judgemental of my stutter. It first time I join...

I find that with much practice and really knowing the material I can confidently present anything. So my advice is too practice practice and more practice until it gets boring because you know it all ...

Something that helped me before presentations was meditating for 45 minutes, it puts you in a super super relaxed state of being and calm. This obviously won’t mean you’ll be stutter free but you have...

For me what worked most was improvising the presentation, I mean have a set of bulletpoints about the topic and order but just that. If I had a too rigid presentation I got nerveous and stutter on the...

I can read out loud from a book to other people no probs, yet I can hardly string a sentence together talking with anyone face to face, even with people I should feel relaxed around like my partn...

The fact that you were willing to present to a whole class and not just completely avoid it should be an achievement in itself that you went for it and to me, even though you stuttered, I think your t...

When I was in the fire academy, the instructor that was supposed to teach that day, had a emergency or something so the chief had to take over for that day. The chief decided to hold mock group interv...

They had the cadets do briefings that were graded in the classes required for the ROTC program. That's when I stuttered the most, especially because you have to say "Good morning/afternoon class my na...

I don’t know how the best man speeches are in your culture, but can you make it in a way that it is not fully reliant on your voice? Like showing picture at the same time or something like that? It wh...

Very interesting read. Would be nice to have the ability to lessen the potency of my stutter if not for just an hour or two. For job interviews, presentations, first dates, marriage speeches and so on...

The "SUPER FUN" had me laughing, lol. One of my most common stutter traps is my name. Also things I'm really excited to say and don't get me started on oral presentations....

I don't stutter anywhere near how much I used to, but that also depends highly on the environment and situation I'm in. Public speaking in any sense is a massive no-no for me in both English and Japan...

Should we normalize singing for stutterers during speech? Since we tend not to stutter then....

As a matter of practicality, I don't think a severe stutterer can be POTUS. Most of the job is communication. If you can't get words out, how can you give a speech? A mild stutter is different though...

I totally agree on this theory. How much it sucks anyway. When I speak to myself or practicing a presentation by myself I am nailing it but well in front of an audience it all goes downhill...
