I used to give presentations at my last job, and I'd start out with "If you missed something I said the first time, don't worry: I stutter so you'll catch it when I repeat myself." It disclosed my stu...

Anything with an E is tough for me to say like "Eight" or "Evening" I normally get around it by saying something like "Straight Eight" or "Wonderful Evening" a word i find easy and can generally just ...

I’m so sorry to hear that man. I definitely know how much it sucks when you know exactly what you want to say but it just won’t come out. I don’t know if this helps but a lot of times I will change th...

For those who don’t have a severe stutter, are the words that you ALWAYS stutter on?

For those who don’t have a severe stutter, are the words that you ALWAYS stutter on? For me, I 90% of the time stutter on the word “can”. It’s my least favorite word and pretty much every question beg...

I’d also recommend letting your teachers know, not so they could avoid calling you but just to let them know. I did that in college and it made me feel a lot better. I think I even announced it before...

I recommend reading Lee Lovett's book and contacting him. He was a severe stutterer for many years, a successful attorney who has presented to Congress, self cured his stuttering, and coached thousand...

To answer the question, you do not need to disclose your stutter during an interview. As far as how the interview went, it sounds like it went well! If you hadn't posted this question in this sub, i...

It feels like adrenaline to me but everyone's talking about dopamine

It feels like adrenaline to me but everyone's talking about dopamine 30yo male. Mom stuttered but grew out of it in high school. I also temporarily grew out of mine in early high school, but it came r...

I really dislike fluency shaping. It is not natural fluency, or natural speech. Yes one may be able to speak fluently, but it is still labored fluency....

I read it and found it interesting. But it's just another, more nuanced form of fluency shaping. Not for me....

Definitely introduce yourself as a person who stutters. Get it out in the open early so people are aware. I just started doing that (31 years old) and it takes away a lot of the fear. You'll still stu...

If I could go back to HS (I'm in my 40's) I would own up to the stutter. Talking about it to others, gives it less power. High School was rough. It gets easier....

Usually I do but since this talk was only 1 slide and 5 minutes I thought I could do it in one take but I was so wrong lol...

What trips me up is word blocks. I’m good at replacing a word if I feel a block coming. Asking a question is sometimes hard because you have to be specific....

THis is exactly the thing I have the most problem with. Do start a sentence with a vowel is next to impossible. If i try, I cant get a sound out and if I try to force it my mouth just contracts and ex...

You are not alone. Trust us. EVERY single person who stutters goes through this while doing recordings. Do it the best you can and send it. Perfection is not possible. Fuck it. Sending an online hu...

Jesus christ it would take me like 15 minutes to record that even without stuttering...
