Image titled Stop Stuttering Step 1 1 Mentally and physically relax. Tell yourself that you really are going to do fine. When you are worried that you are going to stutter, you make it likelier that you will. Relax both your body and your mind. Relax your body: Release the tension in your back, neck and arms. Relax your shoulders; let them sink down to a natural level. Buzz your lips for a couple seconds before you start speaking. Singers do this sometimes to warm up. Shake out any tension that you have in your legs and arms. Twist your torso. Relax your mind: Tell yourself: "I am bigger than this stutter; this stutter is not bigger than me! Don't tell yourself it's a life or death situation. Stuttering is annoying, but it's not as much of an issue to other people as it probably is to you. Let this thought relax you. Concentrate your attention inside your head. Gently let your attention drift to the furthest tips of your body, breathing evenly. This can be done as a form of meditation. 2. Stand in front of the mirror and imagine the person in the mirror being someone else. Just start talking about anything — how your day went, what you're feeling like, what you're planning on eating later on — and watch your stutter disappear. Of course, talking in front of the mirror isn't the same thing as talking to another person, but this exercise should give you a good boost of confidence. Remember how well you spoke to yourself in the mirror when preparing to talk to somebody else. Try speaking to yourself every day for 30 minutes. It might seem weird at first, but the exercise is hearing your voice without the stutter. It'll give you lots of confidence. 3. Image titled Stop Stuttering Step 3 3 Read books out loud. Your charisma skills will be improved. Just read out loud. It's going to be hard at first, but it will teach you how to breathe. One big problem most stutters have is knowing when to breathe while reading or talking while also giving you practice on recovering from stuttering.
