Oof I understand. I like the idea someone else suggested to edit each line together. With the stutter in full swing, how long does it take you to do the presentation all the way through?...

Oh yeah that’s the worst. I had to record a presentation over the lockdown for school and it was awful. It had to be around 5 minutes long but by the time I was done it was at 10 minutes. And that was...

Totally feel your pain man. I’ve actually found out during this pandemic that I prefer in person presentations lol at least you just struggle through em’ once and you’re done. When I had to record a p...

I finally just got it done after like 3 hours. I cut out like 80% of what I was gonna say....

I've actually considered having something along those lines embroidered on my grooming smocks.. and hope that someone actually reads my shirt. But they also can't read the signs regarding covid sooo.....

Vowels always make me trip up. Here are some things I’ve used over the years and still do: If the vowel word isn’t first in the sentence, combine it with the last world and make one big one. “The ani...

I work in sales and talk to people every day. Sometimes my stutter gets in the way, but I get through it. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do something because you stutter....

Not sure what an "RN" is, but if this is something you're passionate about then it's important to work towards it, despite your stutter. It'll be worth the grind if it's something you love. If it's j...

I learned to use a Lot of synonyms. Sure, there are plenty of times you can’t, and blocking is the worst for me as well. When it happens - I just come clean “give me a sec - I’m having a block.....”. ...

Yeah, I think it would have definitely helped if the speech therapist explained why were using the rudimentary materials. Although when I was younger I had a lot of frustration and anger built up as a...

I went to a group speech therapy .It was very helpful . We talked about techniques and went in detail about how the sound is produced, then we focused making the different sounds controlled. I remembe...

As someone who read a lot, and I mean a lot, of books about stuttering, I found most of them useless. But no harm in reading, you’ll always gain something from reading. Unfortunately, at least for me,...
