I wouldn't think you'd need therapy just for lacking rhythmn in your voice... Speech is all over the place unless it's planned anyway! It would sound very strange if it was too steady.
I know it makes sense that it's to do with anxiety but it can be other things - for instance with dyspraxia speech is affected (although I'm sure a bit of anxiety would be better in this case than being told you're autistic :1). When I have something I really want to say, like talking about something I'm really passionate about, I can't regulate my breathing & it sounds like I'm having a panic attack :D
Yeah I'm the same I feel pretty confident but I've started stuttering & um&erring all the time! I've never noticed you appearing fidgety or nervous or anything but then I guess I'm not looking for that kinda stuff :1 I'd hate to see what one of those people would make of me haha.
Just don't plan yourself too much or you'll have to stop and think every time you walk to check if it's the right rhythmn & I think that'd give you a few more problems than a jerky speech :P
Yeah I need to stop umming all the time. I never perscute people for it at all, but some people seem to think you're really stupid for stalling and so on.

I have the same problem with being passionate about things too, it just all blurts out.
