I'm not that good at commentary, but I think being normal and being yourself would be best! :)

The only advice i can give is dont try too hard to impress your audience.
Be yourself say what comes to your mind and have fun doing it.
Dont be too mean or offensiveor swear too much
Thats the only thing to be careful about !

Make it seem as if you're talking to an actual person rather than a mic that's just there... make the mic a girl you like and you have to impress her? Something that will get you started?

I know you've said you like live commentary but some post-recording editing can work wonders. What you might find helps is to record your commentary during gameplay as usual, but then revisiting the footage, cutting out any dead air or sections where you find yourself tripping on your words and then post-dubbing them from a script. Devote some time to ensuring you get a good recording at that stage and it won't even be noticeable and will drastically increase your video quality.
