Honestly, aim to try/use all of them. After a little bit, they will become automatic. If it’s daunting, start by practicing these in order, in a mirror, alone. When comfortable, switch to a short...

Ugh I've experienced this before, didn't understand how I could be fine for months saying an introduction on the phone not being able to at all. I did these 2 little hacks that helped me through it th...

Good for you! 👍🏼 When I was an undergrad I took an afternoon on-air shift on the college FM radio station. I found that I did pretty well! My show prep was longer because I planned out my talk sets...

Yes, here’s a tip I’ve used: always schedule a “practice” interview first… one with a company you’re not really interested in. Here’s what I’ve found: you’re significantly less nervous for the job int...

> i don't want the interviewer to perceive that i'm too nervous or that i don't have any confidence. Try disclosing. There are a lot of posts about that on here >I have a job interview the ne...

I’m wondering this as well. I feel like when I was on adderall XR in conjunction with 5 mg of propranolol I was much more fluent. I feel like a lot of stuttering is brain fog related....

It’s a good idea to start by telling them you have a stutter then I always rehearse what I’m about to say or even right down the main points so I don’t forget them later...

If you practice your techniques consistently each day after school or work at 5PM with a specific person, then it requires discipline. If you scroll up on this page, then to the right-side of the scre...

I'm sorry that happened. Is there a way to practice in that room, with some of your fellow students as audience? Practice practice practice. Good luck. PS I don't stutter, but my first few presenta...

I think that the key to practicing for presentations is not only practicing the speaking aspect of it itself, but also trying your best to replicate the atmosphere of the presentation. Presenting to n...

Maybe nows a good time to listen to the podcast I recommended? I understand what I suggested is the last thing you want to do. But if you ask around here, you’ll find that those of us who are speaki...

You will do great! Practice and tell yourself how amazing you are in a mirror before going out there. Even if you get tripped up, keep thinking positive thoughts. Largest I’ve done is 500 and I loved ...
