Try exposure therapy. You can put yourself in situations where you must speak and can't easily escape the conversation. For example, call someone without overthinking it. What's the worst thing that can happen? You'll feel anxious at first, but you'll get used to it over time.Any tips on how to beat the anxiety?

I feel like i sound like a child sometimes when i hear my voice on video, and my accent bothers me too.

Does it bother others, though? I understand your concern; it's similar to disliking your voice in general. However, if strangers are fine with it, you shouldn't overthink it when talking to them.my accent bothers me too.

You can also try growling to make your voice temporarily deeper. This helps you learn how your throat "feels" when you want to sound less like a child so that you can imitate it by yourself (without growling)I feel like i sound like a child sometimes when i hear my voice on video,

Personally, I'm not quite sure about the usefulness of growling for improving one's general vocal habits. The deepness of one's voice shouldn't be the focal point — rather, the focal point should be one's vocal resonance. It's often the case that when we try to artificially deepen our voice, we lose some of that resonance.You can also try growling to make your voice temporarily deeper.

I believe I'd also mumbled in a subconscious way to protect myself — somewhat trying to "hide" my words at the same time as I was saying them.I was very anxious speaking, especially on the phone. I also mumbled a lot, in some misguided attempt to protect myself.
I got past that out of necessity, simply forcing myself to talk to many different people over many years.
I found it easier to focus on the transfer of information. If I'm clearly understood, and accomplish what I'm set out to do, it's a success.
While that's not hard, it required repetition to make it a confident habit. Nowadays I'm able to speak in a composed and clear manner, to anyone, without much anxiety.
I think resonance and depth, and all that, are unnecessarily advanced topics for calling friends or ordering a pizza.
Much of it will likely come naturally as you relax and get more confident. Keep it simple, until you have some fundamental confidence.
