Well all you need to do is really tell your story with passion,if you do that,then all should go well!.also a narrator adds to a story,they could add to the drama or the sorrow etc!.So dont do anything to draw attention to yourself!.You aren't the protaganist!.I know its difficult because you're used to attention,but do as i say,it should helpWww@QuestionHome@Com

Speak loudly, and clearly!.
DON'T mumble!.
Smile when you talk, but obviously not through the sad parts of the story!.
Use expression in your voice!.
Have fun :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Um!.!.!.!. the Narrator is there to tell the story convincingly, NOT 'draw attention' to yourself!. That smacks of ego!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
