Th-th-th-th-that's all folks!

Fellow speaker,

If you stutter while speaking, here are some things that may help:
  • Practice "tongue twisters" (a string of words that are difficultto say quickly) such as "Sally sells seashells by the seashore". Work at making every syllable come out clearly and understandably.
  • SLOW DOWN. Often stuttering is a sign of speaking (or thinking)too fast. If you are stuttering a lot more in your presentations than you normally do when talking, slow down the pace of your speech, to allow your ideas to catch up with your words.
Non-stuttering,

Tim
