Spitting saliva as you speak can be an embarrassing problem, but it is reversible. This article provides some ideas on how to reduce the possibility of this happening.

Steps

  1. 1
    Practice in front of a mirror. This also helps with conquering lisps, stuttering, and most other speech problems.[1]
  2. 2
    Tell yourself you are going to fix the problem. Self motivation is big in this.[2]
  3. 3
    Always swallow before you speak. This almost always eliminates most of the problem.[3]
  4. 4
    Don't speak too fast. Speaking fast always increases the risk of spitting.
  5. 5
    Always be confident! Being confident and believing in yourself is the key to getting over any problem (except overconfidence).[4]
