finally, someone else who has a similar affliction! my issue has come down to breathing. there simply is no airflow to sound out a word. unfortunately, no amount of breathing exercises have helped. and, of course in this sort of situation i'd be nervous as hell; breathing smoothly is the last thing on my mind.

i also have a tendency to replace words that I can't say (at the time) with others that I can say, however that usually means I lose some of the original message I wanted to convey. :/ I've tried to cut down on that over the years tho.
