Focus on the core message – put passion in it (pick a subject you care about) 3. Be present in the here and now – focus on the material, not the audience 4. Rehears and prepare beforehand 5. Do breathing and tension release exercises, like meditation 6. Mingle with listeners and chat with them 7. Take public speaking classes (or theatre…..or singing classes…) 8. Take breaks or sip water from time to town 9. Make your nervous energy work for you
