    Confidence helps. For me it was changing schools at 14, being near people who didn’t know my shortcomings gave me the confidence to succeed at talking that 6 years of speech therapy couldn’t.

    Nowadays when I’m mega nervous I still get tripped up by preglottal plosives like the Hard C in cat. I learned to speak alliteratively in those times because it makes me feel like I’m singing and I never stutter while I sing.
