Hi everyone...I find it alot easier opening a presentation with introducing yourself as a stutterer. I feel that if you use humor it provides a more comfortable atmosphere. Iv just graduate from University and I had to perform a presentation about my dissertation which I was working on. I started off by saying my name and then saying I stuttered, then I made a joke, stating that I would be using a few techniques like voluntary stammering and stretching( whilst stretching on the words), I then told the auience not to call am ambulance if they think im having a stroke, as its just a technique I am using.
