Own Your Stutter
Being upfront, and addressing your stutter before your presentation can help to lessen the anxiety that comes with presenting in front of a crowd. It can be exhausting trying to hide your stutter from your audience, so just let them know before you begin that you have a stutter and give them an idea of what they might hear during your presentation. Your audience wants to see you succeed, so let them know that despite any disfluencies, you’re going to give them all the information your presentation includes. With help from one of our anti stuttering devices, you can achieve even more benefits.
Be Prepared
Proper preparation prevents poor performance. Don’t be afraid to put your effort into the presentation, rather than obsessing over word choice and trying to work around your stutter. In other words, prepare for your presentation, don’t attempt to put together a stutter-free presentation as setting such high expectations can cause added anxiety.
Pick A Topic You’re Interested In
Your stutter may not immediately go away when you talk about things that excite you or that you’re passionate about, but choosing such a topic can make the preparation phase much easier. At the very least, talking about something you’re knowledgeable about will make for an enjoyable presentation. Our anti stuttering devices can help you stop stuttering and talk about everything you’re passionate about, but our tips and tricks will do just fine for now.
