I'm sure you get a lot of speaking and inflection practice from your work, maybe think of it as a skill you've gained instead of natural talent!

This is a recent job I’ve only had a year. I did theatre stuff in college and speech and debate back in high school though. I’ve taught old people How to use Linux as a side gig for years too (they hate windows and apple is too expensive so I had to teach them alternatives) I just kind of accumulated those skills over the years to clearly explain difficult things to people. I will say the speech and debate thing was the most beneficial. I was objectively the worst on my team, never placed in a round once. But it does help you reframe your confidence in useful ways when you need to. Public speaking is a cakewalk for me now.
