I was a really shy kid, but learned to speak in public when I moved to a new school in 11th grade and the debate coach plucked me out of the registration crowd and said, "You're going to take my debate class." I learned to create a public persona--It's not me, it's the Speaking Lady Did Toastmasters with work, had positions in a few service clubs/groups... Speaking Lady still works for me. No fear, really.
not_nadine YOU had a thing with Ted Nugent, or GNTLGNT had a thing with Ted Nugent? The answer determines whether I'm admiring or appalled

He hurt my ears when I was young with the music. When I saw him in concert.
ouch.
ouch.
I have to do it fairly regularly as part of my job. I don't enjoy it but you do get used to it.
Done many a presentation at work and for school where I did my research and just worked off an outline of my notes. The ability to improvise helps.
Best practice I got for this was playing in a band. Once I got over the initial stage-fright and wanting to hurl it was all good.....

I'm quite shy and find public speaking quite daunting. I've been a best man twice, and both times was dreading it. The beauty of best man speeches is you can have a drink beforehand, also I do like telling jokes. Once I got going I was fine, and actually started ad- libbing in the end.
I've managed to avoid public speaking most of my life, except for in the last couple of years when I spoke at both my parents funerals, my two older sisters and I went up together and I never looked up from what I had written down. In March I will probably have to speak to a small crowd, but on my own & I have no idea what I'm going to say. I'm such a klutz too, I'm hoping I don't fall flat on my face.
...love him or hate him, he was a fantastic interview...He is great, and spoke to so many people, rock stars and all.

...a couple of years ago, I had the chance to do a "phoner" prior to his appearance in Columbus...he is quite intelligent, though obviously polarizing with his outspoken stands on issues...I was a really shy kid, but learned to speak in public when I moved to a new school in 11th grade and the debate coach plucked me out of the registration crowd and said, "You're going to take my debate class."

...maybe I could help, if you give me an idea of what the speaking engagement would be for....
...thanks!...I ad-libbed the whole thing...don't like "stock" questions, and I think he appreciated the stream of consciousness style...it made for a very laid back and fun half-hour...I try to do that with all of my interviews, even though I still do my homework...there's a fine line between being prepared, and being overdone...
I totally ad-libbed my best man speech for my buddy's wedding. Got a lot of "that was a great speech, you must have worked hard on it" comments. I smiled and said "Thanks!"
I use to do radio open line interviews when I worked with the homeless and various things like that at the beginning of the new cold months. I found that my voice would freeze on the radio. I managed it, but I need not like it.
No. I've have talked at a number of conventions and symposiums so, I'm comfortable.
I think if you know your material, well prepared and practice (in front of a mirror, friend, family, etc.) you will feel much more comfortable. And fake it 'til you make it.
(I won't mention the first time I had to talk in front of my class and passed out.
)
Peace.

I've done public speaking probably hundreds of times.
I still go into low-grade panic every time. Sometimes it helps by the electricity of awareness. Sometimes it doesn't because the panic scatters the thoughts. Being organized going in helps.

If to take into account your posts in different threads here probably you are a good guide.
