practice looking flustered or frustrated!. Start out sounding somewhat normal but that it kind of slips in!. After a couple of attempts to speak properly begin to show more and more frustration!. If you have a lot of lines and it is necessary to keep going try to look a little dejected as you finish, as if it were a shameful personal failing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Calm down and take it easy!. You'll do fine!. Im having a play to do as well and i know i might screw up but if you feel confident that you can do it then you can!. Take a deep breath and start all over!. Dont worry about the world just say those lines with the emotions and you'll be fine :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

you could try to say it like a phrase but
in between if you could just put um uh or sudden pauses
or even dont look at te person who your directing
your statment to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
