How do I make my voice intelligible? I have an acute stammering problem and I pronounce the alphabet R as V.?

Question

I have tried taking the aid of a speech therapist, but after almost a month's treatment, eve though he said that I was getting normal, I didn't quite notice the difference, so I left him. Most of the times, I become very nervous while speaking and cannot control my breathing. Will reading a newspaper aloud help? I have tried that but stopped midway because I stammered while reading the newspaper too. Please help!!

Answer 1

I would honestly go back to the speech therapy. I would also, take a speech or public speaking class. The more you practice and get comfortable with yourself and the more you build your confidence the better your speech will become. The most important thing is to gain confidence in what you CAN do no what you CAN NOT! Good luck!
