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.

Another one of the best free public speaking tips you will ever find is to practice as much as you can. The more you practice, the better you will become. There is no such thing as too much practice. 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.
