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...

Stuttering isn’t usually at random intervals. I’ve had words that were never a much of a problem rather suddenly become a word I stutter on every time. Same thing happened with certain letters and sou...

Write some common sentences on a paper or notepad. For example Hi my name is …. How can I help you today? And when the time come just read for the notepad. For me I don’t stammer when I am reading so...

Not in IT but I work in vet medicine. Went into it thinking I’d just work with animals but had to talk to clients more and more as I got promoted. Was nervous as hell first, but with practice I got be...

I prepared but I could always use more. The problem is I also don't want to over prepare, but that might not apply here....

We definitely understand. How is your stuttering “normally”? Did you prepare ahead of time or that morning? I would do similar things at career fairs in college and talking to 3 booths I didn’t car...

Congrats on the job!!! What type of role is it? How did you prepare (fluency-wise) for the interviews? I always have to hype myself up the day of the interview (singing high energy songs), repeat out ...

Never did speech class cuz school j didn’t think I was that “bad”, but definitely tried this on my own. I read aloud random articles I find online and work on sounding things out, kinda to compensate ...

Well done! (Edited for ease of reading...) ​ On Stuttering ​ Hello Family, While we are as different as snow flakes (while not being “flakes” or “flakey”) LOL ;-) I’d like...

I’m in my mid 40’s and in a similar situation as OP. Last year I interviewed for a new position in my same company with my VP, Director and Manager. I knew my manager but not my VP or Director. T...

Basically i took the pill of MDMA, the presentation was at 4:00pm, i was kinda nervous but the beers and that fucking drug calmed me a lot, and i also practiced what i needed to say a lot before that ...

Ugh I had more here...still getting used to reddit. I'll try to remember what I wrote. So words of advice? - work on eye contact while stuttering - be comfortable taking pauses during conversation...

Preface speaking, especially public speaking of any sort, with explaining that you have a stutter/stammer. Once people know, theres nothing to be afraid of. Sounds pretty blunt and fucked up, right? I...

I did Toastmasters for a year or so. Great experience and everyone was very supporting and you do things at your own pace. For your first speech you pretty much introduce yourself. I talked about m...

So fucking frustrated pt2. Need advice

So fucking frustrated pt2. Need advice This was the rant 2-3 days ago. Part 1. This is just a rant. I had to read aloud in front of the class. I stuttered like crazy. Then after a few lines, I began...

Yes. Presentations for example are the worst. When it would take a normal person a short amount of time to put something together and do a bit of improvisation, I’ve always got to rehearse, make sure ...

For me it depends on the type of pressure. Some one about to hurt them selves? I can yell stop no problem? But pressure of a job interview? Can barely speak...

My first job was being front of the restaurant to great guests at Red Lobster and I was also beyond nervous, especially to pick up calls. What really helped me was having a routine. I used to basicall...

I was in a similar situation ... twice. So, write the speech of course. Rehearse the crap out of the speech as best as you can. Out loud, whisper, it changes your tones of voice. Maybe present it to s...

Introduction anxiety Its been a while since I have been able to introduce myself properly and its eating me up. Because of this I am not very social. I start a bootcamp(programming) next week and I h...
