Prior to giving your speech, imagine the execution of your speech in itsentirety: Envision yourself exuding complete confidence as you walk to the podiumand initiate your delivery. See yourself speaking slowly and concisely, making eyecontact with individuals as you move from one audience member to another. Pictureyour audience to be warm andreceptive. Anticipate problem areas and/or mistakesand imagine yourself moving through them gracefully and without incident. If youclose your eyes and visualize yourself successfully delivering the speech, you willliterally trick your brain into believing you've done it and you won't feel as nervous.
Utilize notes/outline
Well designed outlines and/or notes are acceptable and expected. However,notes should not be read verbatim, and should only be used as reference. Manypeople suffering from public speaking anxiety (stage fright) will use notes as adistraction from making eye contact with their audience. This makes them lookunprepared. Rather, design your outline/notes as such: Write OUt your introductionin full, because this is when yur public speaking anxiety will be at its peak. Usesymbols for key points. Write out transitional sentences in full to avoid abrupttransitions and/or uncomfortable pauses (this will also avoid the "ummms" and"ahhhs" you might feel compelled to use while you are gathering your wits). Writeyour conclusion in full as well, as this will be the summary, of your message, andshould be communicated clearly. This does not mean reading directly from yournotes, but rather, acts as the insurance against forgetting valuable information.
