Honest discussion about voices in audio/video/live battles

[Shodan]

Well, recently, I've been considering attempting to try my hand at more audio battles, and perhaps even video or live battles. However, there is just one issue that is slowing me down in that endeavor. As anyone who has ever heard me talk on here knows, I just don't have the voice necessary for any format of battling where lines are spoken.

So, here's my question. Should I just make the jump and try to improve it, try to improve my speech (somehow) before bothering with it at all, or avoid any audio-based battle formats completely? I'm curious to know what the live battlers (and armchair wannabe live battlers) on this site think of this problem, and my possible responses to it.
