My dad always said when your nervous, just act like you own the place.

Kind of like when you go to buy beer and you under age.

Act like your the teacher and if anyone talks, write their names on the board.

I dont get nervous to often but if I do I just act like my boys are in the room...If you know what you are talking about then you shouldnt have a problem...Make sure you're not just reading off note cards...just try to relax and not speak too fast...Chances are you're not the only one who is nervous so just do you and get it done..it's never as bas as you think it is...

yup act like you the man and everyone else can eat a fat one if they aint on board....i would give speeches all the time for stuff at school faculty parents and stuff..just act confident and what u gotta say is very important and speak bold clear and evrything will be fine.. pretend your the president about to declare war..<--i just thought of that...but just practice so u dont have to refer to card but use them just in case

When I was in high school I told a kid to shut the fuck up.

Even the teacher was laughing hella hard. After that it was nothin.

Or you know what if dudes is fuckin around like AZ said write they name on the board.

Write it down hella big wit a big ass arrow pointing to it.

Make it funny man. Thats the key. Remember everybody gotta do it not just you.

Or, do as Deadpool does: just imagine you're in a room with Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Cobra Commander, Captain America, etc. and imagine they're naked.
hahaha

what also helps, if you can, use powerpoint, that way you can refer back to the screen and not forget what you were going to say. Also it helps to remember that everyone else in the class has to do a speech so they know how hard it is to be up there.

Also if you PRACTICE, you wont be as nervous, I tried to come up with a speech of the top of my head, bad news for me, I looked like an idiot.

Look at the tops of people's heads rather than directly in the eye. This will give your audience the impression that you are looking at them and making eye contact without making yourself nervous. Great trick I picked up in Jr. College speech class.
