Practical exercise
Phone record a one minute show and tell about one object
Public speaking starts with sixty seconds, not five minutes. You will pick one object from your home, set your phone to record, and talk about that object for exactly one minute. By the end you will have your first piece of evidence that your voice can hold a room, even when the room is just a camera.

Do one minute show and tell every Sunday for a month. Pick a different object each week. After four weeks, watch all four together back to back; the difference is your real progress report.
