This final project analyses the stuttering experienced by Bertie as the main character in The King's Speech (2010) film. This film was first released in 2010 and directed by Tom Hooper. It incorporates a psychological theme in the main character, who is a stutterer or has difficulty speaking in public. Stuttering is a speech disorder that is not only caused by physical, but psychological aspects can be involved. Psychological factors also play an important role in causing and influencing stuttering.

It aims at two purposes; the first is to find out the type of stuttering portrayed in Bertie’s character, and the second is to reveal the factors that cause stuttering in Bertie.

This final project used a descriptive qualitative method. It used the psychological theory of stuttering and the psychological theory of stuttering by Joseph Sheehan. Data were obtained from watching films, reading the film scripts, identifying data, and clarifying data. The results of this study are divided into two: the kinds of stuttering experienced by Bertie is a combination of neurogenic and psychogenic stuttering. Apart from that, this study also found that the factors that cause stuttering are psychological factors from internal and external factors.
