I am working as a tour guide and as a receptionist with a mild stutter as well! The more tours I give, the less I stutter because it’s all just a repetitive process. I would say confidence and repetit...

I would say so if you're considering it. Say something along the lines of "I just want to let you know that I do have a stutter so in case you hear it, I'm not just nervous." Depending on how serious...
