Be as prepared as you possibly can be so you don’t have to be distracted by improvising.

Great tip. I find that I am great at improvising, but this means that my concentrated effort to think something on the spot will cause me to make blunders in other parts haha

I agree with what Koob said about being prepared, but in the event that you can't prepare for everything, accept that, be yourself and be relaxed. Use the force.

All you can do is practice.
It is a lot easier after you have been a teacher for a while.

Yeah my boss was out for PI planning this week so she had me host all the day one activities. She likes to start with a song, so I made a customized AI song and did a little dance. Yes it was in person and I work fully remote

Practice, practice and more practice.
If you can, record yourself and you will see where you can improve.
Also, could happen to you as well that you felt that you were very nervous and you thought your voice was weak but if you ask for honest feedback you will hear that you did great.

Slow down, breathe, and don't be afraid of stopping talking to think or take a sip of water.
Nervous speakers feel the need to fill silence with filler words (umm, err, etc), or will ramble on quickly with their speech.
Confident speakers will embrace silent moments and allow them to exist naturally. In fact, allowing moments of silence can be very useful because it gives you a chance to take a deep breath, or to have a quick sip of water, or just collect your thoughts, whilst simultaneously giving your audience chance to digest your words and reflect.

practice in a mirror, or with a person you trust. But either way, practicing speaking the speech before you do it is immensely helpful in my opinion. Don't just write it/think it beforehand.

this one time i was on stage playing different roles in 5th grade, memorized a ton of poem lines for that day, had no problem speaking them (mother made me memorize whole pages of 19th century poems, what a rough childhood), but the only time i was nervous is when i had to speak to a girl on stage and almost forgot some lines, haha.
what can i share from this experience... KNOW UR SHIT and PRACTICE

All preparation in terms of knowledge is good. But it will be more effective with practice.
Trust me, the first time I spoke in public was eight years ago, and I had to read my speech over and over—at least 30 times. After delivering it, I breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that speaking in front of a crowd wasn’t as difficult as I had imagined.

And after that first time, many more followed. As a result, I’m now teaching public speaking at a skills training center.

When you take propranolol, it helps you stay calm by reducing your racing heart and shaky hands, making you feel more in control while speaking. It's fairly popular amongst people who do public speaking, and performers too.
