Answer 1

Several of my uncles and cousins used to stutter and have overcome it by going through the book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" by The Stuttering Foundation of America. The book is available at www.stutteringhelp.org in their e-store or by calling them. Some public libraries also shelve it. It is not a book to be read through and then expect miracles, though. You have to diligently work through the steps and go back through it again and constantly practice what you learn according to one uncle.

As for things that they said helped them in times like yours when they had to speak in front of a group, they said that the more they tried NOT to stutter, the more they did. Using a slower pace of speaking with several pauses and adding sort of a rhythm to their speech helped.

Don't look at your audience. Look at the back of the room just above their heads. They'll think you are looking at them when you really aren't. Concentrate on what you have to say with no care for their reaction to how you say it. In your mind, be speaking to someone you are very comfortable with and rarely stutter when you are talking with them.

Good luck.
