Then, once you feel calm and centered, create a mental picture of yourself giving the perfect speech. Imagine yourself confident and in control as you are speaking. Picture the audience giving you their full attention and relating well to what you are saying.

Do the best you can to memorize your speech by heart so you'll be less likely to forget the words. Give your speech in front of a video camera or at least a mirror so you can watch your performance. Try it out for friends and family that you know will give you kind yet honest criticism.
