It's you who has written the story and you need to narrate it to others. If you believe in what you have written there need not be any hesitation. But you said you still fumble!
Firstly it appears you have fear of public speaking . Whenever you feel everyone is looking at you possibly you tend to become conscious.
Let me narrate a small anecdote. In the army after we dig our trenches superiors need to ascertain that everyone knows his job.
There was Havaldar Bahadur of Gorkha Regt who was good but use to become conscious while speaking. When the commanding officer came to listen to his briefing, Havaldar Bahadur took out a small piece of paper from his pocket kept in his hand and without looking at the
paper he gave a very nice briefing with confidence.
Commanding officer asked him “Kancha ( addressing a Gorkha with love) ye paper mein kya likha hai, isse to aapne padha nahin” ( what is written on the paper you did not consult it).
He showed the paper and said, “sahab ye khali hai” ( Sir, this is blank).
So the commanding officer asked with surprise, “phir isse kyu rakha hai”( then why are you holding it). To this Havaldar Bahadur replied, “ye Confidence ke liye hai sahab” :) ( This is to maintain confidence sir). You can't visibly hold a paper during discussion in SSB for confidence but do find a way to believe in what you have written and you will be able to do it.
Do some speaking in front of your friends. Initially they may laugh at you but slowly you will gain confidence. If you want to learn how to swim the only way is to get into the water. So start speaking :)
