First, you need a positive outlook. The judges know you are nervous, but they don't want to see it (at least not the ones I know). Show your talent. enunciate(speak clearly), project. Projecting is not screaming or shouting. It's using your diaphragm. Another thing, if your into acting, do some speakin exercises or tongue twisters before an audition. Try enunciating this quickly, and ask someone to see if they can understand what your saying.
"A skunk sat on a stump.
The stump thought the skunk stunk-
and the skunk thought the stump stunk"

If you have warmed-up so to say, you feel more confident and prepared. Another thing to remember is "only perfect practice makes perfect." So try to be "extremely" prepared for anything coming at you.
Good Luck,

Try to over act like William Shatner. You have to do that if you want stage presence.

enunciate. throw your voice.... kinda. hold your hands about 2 feet in front of your face like you are holding a beach ball. say your lines like your voice is the thing that keeps the ball inflated. talk into your hands. that is what i mean by throwing your voice. talk to the back of the theater. do NOT yell, but pretend there are people back there and they ned to hear you as well. be confident! do not hunch because that makes you smaller on stage. stand strong and act like you are big and you have great stage presence and that the lights should all be one you. fake it till you make it. break a leg!
