You know what this reminds me of? Telemarketing.
How? Simple. When I first worked as a telemarketer I was uncomfortable and nervous as shit about being over the phone with another person and trying to read to them a canned speech in order to try and sell them something. I was frightened becaused I thought too much about it for it to be natural, my palms were sweaty and I was nervous, my voice would get jittery sometimes- but I knew that this was the job where I had to make money or else, and I stopped thinking and started doing.
After a meager 20 phone calls I felt like a natural. I learned from my mistakes and refined what I could and whatnot, and instead of sweaty palms and being nervous or jittery, I was so relaxed about it I didn't realize how confident I began to sound. In a way it was like gambling but losing only taught you more.
A few calls later I got a sale.
So the solution seems pretty simple if you ask me- keep practicing and be persistant and think a bit about what you might be doing wrong, but test it all in real situations and soon you'll have the answer.
