Alas, I will not be at Minicon, but if I were, I would go to your reading. Maybe you'll get one at WisCon and I can go to that.
The real reason I bothered to comment is that I have a trick which might help, if you don't do a lot of readings. When I go through a manuscript and read it aloud to time it, I also treat it like a piece of music and mark my breaths and word stresses, the former with apostrophes and the latter by underlining. I'm no actor, but having those two things marked helps me be a bit less monotoned.
