I have a slight stuttering problem whenever I talk for more than 20 seconds sometimes. It usually happens when I become really nervous or anxious and want to hurry up and end a sentence, and I end up tripping on my own words. When I was in my teens, I was very quiet and didn't talk alot, so I think that has alot to do with it, lack of speech practice I guess.
Anyway, no one gives me crap or lip about it, but I'm really self-conscience about it and would like to improve my speech, it would help alot when I'm at work, since I do quite a bit of troubleshooting and debating in a team environment.
Suggestions?

I have a vauge idea that the secret is WHEN AND HOW you breath during speaking.
Sorry I dont know any books to point you to.
However, I do know that EFT (emotional freedom technique) can help reduce your anxiety about it and this may just do the trick.

i stutter because my thoughts are to fast for my mouth. i stop and slow down.its a pause in front instead of a continious stutter.
