Think of your interview like a conversation and so much as an interview. Let’s things flow and also know you are interviewing them as well
Totally agree with breaking the ice in a more casual way, possibly even with a question that's a little unusual or fun - how many pets do you have? What's the last great book you read/movie you saw? It catches people off guard a bit and they tend to be less intimidating if you see them "off their game."
My mom's favorite is "what's a typical weekend look like?" Because it shows you if they party, have a big family, are overworked so playing catch-up, etc.
In terms of learning to be more conversational, how confident do you feel about your ability to do good work? If very, use that. Remind yourself (mentally) every question that they'd be lucky to have you, and explain why (essentially) as you answer like you were talking to someone you already work with. I find that helps!

Have a good answer for things you don’t have experience in. Such as “that’s not something I’ve experienced day to day at my job but I’m familiar with it from X.”
Make sure you have an answer for every requirement they have on the job listing, even if you don’t have direct experience with it
And when they ask your strengths and weaknesses highlight your strengths and show improvement on weakness. Example: time management was one of my weaknesses but I have been working on it consistently by organizing my time better and plan to continue working on it; shows you are holding yourself accountable but also working to improve
