Practice! It always helps. After delivering many speeches, you will get better. Note cards, standing in front of a mirror, etc are great tools. Be sure that you know your subject matter! Speak slowly, enunciate, and try not to fidget.
Also, act confidently. It sounds lame, but if you dress nicely, you feel better about yourself. Your confidence shows when you speak!
Don't forget to smile, either.

Hope this helps!

Relax, imagine you are on your own practicising, or imagine them all naked to relax you

take a class in it

I created a sort of mini course in public speaking. You can find it here. http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/publi...

That should help, but you will need to practice!
