When a room goes quiet and you're still talking
Hi there
You know when you're in a room and lots of conversations are happening at the same time, and suddenly it all goes quiet and you're the only person talking.
Is there a word for that?

I can't think of just one word.
eg not attention.
eg not embarrassment.
You could consider various phrases, eg Suddenly, I was the centre of attention.
