Practice makes perfect in almost any situation. If you're uncomfortable, just keep doing it until you're comfortable. After 10 presentations, you'll realize you're not that nervous anymore. It's not really that scary at all. Tip for presentations is to prepare well. Memorize everything when you first start out if you don't want to mess up the first few times. After a couple practices, you'll realize you have much more leeway to adlib.

First practice your presentation in front of the mirror ,Alone in a locked room.When you feel confident enough ,Try it in front of one person on your closed circle.If he/She appreciate it ,Try the same in front of more people in ur circle.And you are ready to go! Before all these ,Make sure that 1.You have enough resources 2.You know the concept of the presentation well 3.You have done maximum research on the topic 4.You have got quick points to refer in a handy piece of paper All the best!

Try not to look directly into people's eyes. Have notes in front of you, incase you forget what you need to to talk about. Believe in yourself, and be confident! ^~^

Prepare well is the best thing you can do. For example in front a mirror. But you also can record yourself in front a webcam for practise ;)

Hello there... Yes public speaking is dreaded by most which makes it all the more impressive when done well. Your own interest and knowledge of your subject should give confidence and of course the little note cards with helpful bullet points on the lectern

Something that really helped me was to "give" the presentation by myself in my room or in the bathroom in front of a mirror. Just like if you are in your classroom, and start talking, then jus imagine what type of questions your classmates would ask and try to have some answers. go slide by slide and pretend you are there :)

Practice a speech in front of a mirror or try it in front of a person you know well. You could also try and improve charisma by staring random conversation with a stranger, I mean what's the worst that can happen?

Calm down. Its all okay, so stop worrying about the crowd. Think; your here because you got here and whatever you say counts, it matters, and it will make a significant difference. So dont worry-be confident and be yourself. You can do this. Tell yourself that because its true. The crowd doesnt matter- the people you are addressing and you, only these people matter
