Major upvote for this one. My personal record is about an hour of rerecords to get the message to be fluent. It felt like absolute torture the entire time and I absolutely hated myself for about a day...

Stay strong! Same thing happened to me. I practiced for an hour in front of a mirror and then I used Mel Robbins 5 Second Rule: 5-4-3-2-1-GO and I called and left a 100% fluent voicemail. You ca...

I work in sales (and have a stutter) and have to leave voicemails all the time. Here’s a tip: after you finish the voicemail, hit # and then it will give you options, one of them is always to re-recor...

Had trouble leaving a voicemail for a job interview

Had trouble leaving a voicemail for a job interview I had applied for a job a few weeks ago and called the HR department to see if there’s any updates. The lady was on lunch so I had to leave a voicem...

I don't stutter, but I'm in a longterm relationship with someone who does. I normally wouldn't try to comment on posts like this but I wanted to share what worked for him, since he's not on this subre...

The best method of treating stuttering in my experience is extensive socializing. Stuttering, at least for me, is mostly psychological; the longer I keep myself isolated and away from others, the wors...

Obviously there’s no “cure”. I stuttered horribly as a kid and eventually it stopped completely. I never thought about it and after years and years (maybe 5th-11th grade or so) I forgot I ever stutter...

I'm going to come out and say this. I am a recovering alcoholic who stutters that goes to AA - I noticed since I always forced myself to speak at the meetings that after while I noticed no one cared i...

Any advice from people who have legitimately "cured" their stutter?

Any advice from people who have legitimately "cured" their stutter? I want to cure this thing. I've had it my entire life, I didn't grow out of it like I always really hoped I would, so I want to cure...

I stutter and I used to twitch stream, it helped me with confidence in fluent speech by making me concentrate more with what I wanted to say. If you're thinking about doing it I say go for it, don't e...

Yeah I feel the same way. I think it's because when you avoid words it's hard to talk about specific topics and actually connect with someone. That's good you have a presence though and doing better...

The Acquaintance Stage (First Post)

The Acquaintance Stage (First Post) Throughout high school I was very anti-social due to my stutter. I would avoid all opportunities to talk, after 4 years at the same school most of my class mates st...

I find that often times, those who stutter use so many techniques to cover it up that they fly under my radar. After a while, though, I usually pick up on it. Just pay closer attention is all I can sa...

Performing a poem

Performing a poem I have a moderate to severe stutter (depends on the situation) and I want to share some inspirational stuff: my school yearly hosts this little event called "poetry and music" and th...

Congrats bro. Even after years of experience in my field, I often tend to run away from interviews. No better way to overcome a problem is to face it head on....

I understand. I have a have a mild-severe stutter and sometimes I feel like I am wasting peoples time trying to talk to them. I have two friends that have never made fun of my stutter but that’s about...

Oh for sure. When it first started it was very bad. Like not being able to get the word out and having to take another breath and try again. It was bad when people always thought I was lying about ...

First off, good on you for even trying this. When I was in high school I avoided speaking in front of people and it wasn't until a year or two out of high school that I opened up and started to talk...

Big presentation tomorrow.

Big presentation tomorrow. I am a Resident Advisor in college and tomorrow I have to make a 15 minute speech presenting my case for being rehired for next year. I just practiced one full run through ...

It’s opposite for me. Things that are scripted are more difficult for me and I stutter more when reading off a script. I stutter less when just speaking without any structure because I can substitute ...
