Now, something like reading In Flander's Field in front of half my high school was perfectly fine. I've also done PR for some local bands, photography, and marketing. Or in my last job I spent a lot of time interviewing and hiring as well as training new employees. I was also in charge of monthly training initiatives. So having a group of people sitting in front of me while I spoke was also fine.
It just depends if I am connected to what I am saying or if it is just reciting information.

That's an interesting distinction! For me it is more about which role I am in - when I'm in my teacher persona it's usually not a big problem for me, though it's become much easier with experience (not unexpectely). But I find it easier to teach subjects that I feel genuinely interested in - if I'm reciting information and nothing else I am more nervous and do a worse job.
