You don't want to focus on your anxiety and stress when speaking. The point of your speech is to provide information that is important to you and to make sure you deliver it in a way that keeps the audience engaged.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;When you arrive at the podium take a deep breath and engage the audience with your eyes and smile.

Allow your audience to feel your excitement for what you are talking about.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If you will be speaking for a long time, be sure to have a glass of water handy on the podium. It is also a good idea to have a stool behind the podium so you can perch occasionally if you get too tired. Wear comfortable shoes so that you will be able to concentrate on your speech rather than your feet.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Take a look at the venue before you make your speech.

Base your whole speech on your audience.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Find one person in the crowd who looks trustworthy and focus on them.

It is crucial that you don't participate in activities like twiddling your thumbs or jingling keys. This will give your audience the idea that you would rather be doing something else than be there talking to them.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Always face your audience during your speech. Don't let yourself become distracted. Remember that you need to get your point across, and you won't do this unless you let your audience know your attention is on them.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The tone of your speech should depend on who you are giving it to.
