Need some advice about talking on camera

Okay, so I've got nearly everything I need for my video, except the main thing - the actual voiceover / video footage. And this is where I've got stuck, too. While I've recorded a few audio bits in the past, I've never appeared on video before, and I can't seen to do it. I set up my camera, postision it right, sit in the right place, but I can't get myself to talk. I'm getting that with recording the audio too, it's like I can't talk at a regular sound level when I'm not talking to anyone and I don't know why.

So I was wonder, to you guys who appear on camera or record voiceover for reviews, vlogs, podcasts, etc., how do you do it when there are always people in the house / your house is directly connected to next door? This has been bugging me for the longest time, and it's what's stopping me getting further with this.

Would having someone in the house read the script make it easier? Would having someone in the room to 'talk to' while looking at the camera work?

I'm also debating whether to actually appear on video or just use cartoon drawing of myself instead.
