Is it your speech?
Practicing slowly reading allowed like poetry or books.

Word. Maybe a public speaking class. Something that gets you in practice and in a format where you can bring up specific issues and get help solving them.

I've considered toastmasters. Public speaking is another matter, though i feel if i was fluid as others, i wouldn't mind it.

Public speaking, while the first few times are an absolute nightmare, is the best thing you can do to improve speech. It doesn't even have to be just you talking - I joined my high school debating club for the last 3 years and my ability to argue logically and formulate coherent sentences skyrocketed in that time. What also helps IMHO is reading old books (like Dickens) and stuff. Just getting familiar with understanding complicated sentences and learning new vocab is rly good for your verbal IQ.

I read a lot formally worded content in my line of work every day, though i think this adds to the issue maybe - i can very effectively skim read to get to the key points.
Trying to read more fiction wise, difficult to concentrate sometimes. Reading out loud sounds like great tip and may improve focus. Will try this, thanks.

That’s what I was taught in speech therapy.
