Whenever I talk, I stutter. I mean, when I was little, I used to stutter more, but I still stutter, a lot. What can I do? Its not like, I'm talking to fast, or I'm afraid or something... it's just that...I stutter.
Also, there are so many people who can talk so fast and just keep talking. Like, Miley Cyrus for example. I can talk fast, it's just that in the middle of my speech, I fumble over words. How can I speak more fluently?

---I fumble over words and stutter even if I know what I'm going to say.

Read- a lot. The more you read, the more your vocabulary will increase. You will become more confident in what you are trying to say and your ability to express yourself. Reading will help you to let your mind relax and allow the words to flow.
Best of luck! :)

Practice more in front of a mirror. It might be 'cos you are nervous as you can sense everyone is looking at you when you talk. I feel the same way. I don't stutter as i keep quiet all the time and i miss out a lot of fun when i do that. So, now i keep telling myself only one person can see me well. The rest are having blur eyesight and so i start to have more confidence talking in public.

The best source for information and help with stuttering is The Stuttering Foundation at www.stutteringhelp.org. They have a toll free line if you want to call them. Their book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" was the best help for us. You can't just read through the book, though. You have to work diligently on each step for the program to work. There is also a drug, pagoclone, that is in the trial stages right now.

You don't have to speak too fast. It's probably gonna cause you to stutter. Get a book and start reading aloud. This will make you more comfortable speaking. Relax when you speak.
Good luck!

Look for the local Toastmasters International. This is a organization that teaches public speaking. There will be members there, that can coach you.

In privacy, Try making the letter sounds with your mouth wide open, like if you've ever been in a chorus, they tell you to sing with your mouth in an "O" shape. try that, and sing with your songs that play, even if you think you suck, it should help. Try tlak ing more slowly as well.
