I have a slight lisp, will this prevent me from getting a job?

Think Drew Barrymore.

I feel pretty self conscious about it.

No. If they don't hire you because of your lisp that's discrimination and is way illegal.

Also, you said you feel self conscious about it, try not to come off as insecure when you talk, that might stop you from getting a job because employees want someone who's confident in them self.

Just be cool, it's probably not as bad as you think.

Lisps (and other relatively minor speech impediments) are actually very common. Most people who have them don't know they have them. Most people don't notice them. Do you think any casting director ever looked at Drew Barrymore and said "You're perfect for the part but we can't handle the lisp!"? 8^)

Just don't be self-conscious about it. It's really not that important unless it's so bad that people can't understand what you're saying.
