Line 4:
This is often [[Truth in Television]], as many stutterers don't stutter ''at all'' if they're acting, singing, or talking about something they know well.
 
See also [[Stuttering Into Eloquence]], [[Porky Pig Pronunciation]] and [[Delusions of Eloquence]]. Can overlap with [[OOCOut-of-Character Isis Serious Business]] if other characters consider their unhindered speech unusual.

== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Up until her early twenties, Kaitlyn Hutchins of ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' suffered from a severe stutter. Like many real-world performers, it went away when she sang; it also tended to minimize when she was around people she was close to (and vanished completely with her lovers and with one deeply-beloved family friend). It also vanished when she [[Let's Get Dangerous|went full-bore samurai on someone]]. She eventually lost it almost entirely in her early twenties, with the help of another family friend.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 27:
* Bill Denbrough from [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[IT]]''. Both Richie Tozier and Beverly Marsh remark on the fact that "Stuttering Bill doesn't realize that he doesn't, always".
* In [[Isaac Asimov]]'s short story "Galley Slave", sociology professor Simon Ninheimer stuttered almost all the way through to the end, where he gives a eloquent speech of the evils of AI proofreaders.
* Simon has a stutter throughout most of the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[Discworld/Equal Rites|Equal Rites]]'', but loses it after a run-in with some [[Cosmic Horror]]s.
* ''[[Erast Fandorin]]'' has a stutter/verbal tic that goes away when he's in disguise/in more [[Let's Get Dangerous]] moments.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* Lieutenant Reginald Barclay in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' had a few scenes like this. It was usually evidence that he was really certain about what he was saying, but just couldn't get the words out. It wasn't nervousness that caused his stammer, it was his utter comprehension of the danger of the situation they were in.
** Although on some occasions it was evidence he'd been hit by the [[Negative Space Wedgie]] and was [[Not Himself]].
