I've always been really bad at public speaking up until recently when I had to speak in a debate. I guess it's not foolproof, but here are some tips?

- Imagine they're all telling you to speak up and talk loudly. Don't yell, just be loud.

- Take exactly three seconds to organize your papers. If they're already organized, just move them around a bit to make some noise so it sounds like you're organizing them. Seriously.

- Make sure you really believe in what you're talking about. No matter how good or bad you are at public speaking, when someone speaks about something they're really passionate about, it comes through in their voice and you can hear that they believe in. Even if you had an awful stutter (like me) the audience would still understand you.
