I think that it's like playing drunk!. The temptation is to make everything you do 'drunk'!. Usually if you do a couple of things that tell the audience that you're drunk, and then drop it for the most part, they believe that you are drunk!. I think that afflictions are the same way!. Make specific choices as to when you're going to do it, and pick one letter, like 'B' that he always stutters on, and the audience will hear you stutter throughout the play, even though you're not!. As actors, we usually try and overdo it for some reason, thinking that a lot is a good thing, when less is always more!. Just an opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well the only thing I can tell you is that you must believe that you are unsure of what your saying!. BE THE CHARACTER! If you character is unsure of something then you should behave the same way which will escalate to stuttering your words!. If you believe then you will react!. Trust me =)
