It's cool you are a capable public speaker. Based on what you wrote in this post, my first thought is about time and you perceiving urgency. When speaking publicly, one-on-one, or formally, there is...

Yeah. I've been spending every night talking to myself in the mirror to practice muscle relaxation and slowing down my rate of speaking to allow room for more breath control. I've been reading out lou...

I was in the same boat as you. Stutter/stammer/stopping since i could speak. Not terrible, but enough to eat at me at times. I joined the USAF. Had to say "airman" a lot and about 80% of my stutter g...

Relax and speak as much as you can to practice. Try speaking a bit slower than you normally would if you can, even if it's just to a mate or someone you're staying with. The more you practice, the bet...

I don't do it as much anymore but if you really need to, it's a good way to speak fluently. But things like your name, city, street, school, address (eleven used to kill me and I was in Year 11 for an...

I think that because seeing other people who stutter is so rare we think our version of stuttering is the only one. For me, if I push through it, practice my techniques and get out there are start usi...

I just had a 45 min presentation yesterday. Don't be afraid to stutter. Make your presentation how you would if you were fluent and practice it in the mirror. Just go in there confident and don't be a...

Try relax, take a breath or have a drink even! While drunk I hardly stutter hahaha. Give it a go if you want, it'll work well in your favour I can assure you....

It's a bad problem to have and I used to have it. One thing working in your favor is you know exactly what word you need to say, so you can work on it. Use speech therapy tools like gentle onsets to...

Well I will tell you what I did, and it worked out for me. I got a job out of college doing some IT consulting, and it sucked because of lots of bosses and peers and new clients all the time and phon...

Lying on my back actually makes my stutter worse. If I have to call someone while lying in bed, I'll sit up or else the conversation is significantly harder....
