Organize your topic material in a logical and natural way.  Make sure you include all the points you want to convey and omit unnecessary information.  Practice alone in front of a mirror several times to become familiar with what you have to say, then practice your lecture in front of friends or family and accept their constructive criticism.  Most importantly, know your topic well enough to speak with ease and authority.  Good luck.

First, realize that every one of them would be just as stressed as you are.  Make sure you know your subject very well; the source of some discomfort is fear of failure... if you know your stuff, you will be speaking from knowledge instead of notes.  One thing that works for me is to view this as a discussion more than a presentation and invite interaction from the audience.  This is one time where you will be able to say what you have to say and likely not be interrupted...  so take advantage of the situation and say what you need to say.  It helps if you believe in the message you are conveying.  \n\nOne technique you can use before starting:  take a very deep breath, then let it out very slowly... do this 3 times.  This will force your body to relax, which will help you to relax.\n\nYou'll be great.... no worries!

Well, it helps a lot if you are good at making things up quickly, and not hesitating at all as you speak.  If you have any verbal tics - saying "um" or "you know" can make your argument seem less credible to a judge.  Physically you need to know how to stand in order to appear somewhat intimidating.  Standing with your elbows outstretched, for example, makes you take up more space and therefore appear larger.\n\nOf course researching a topic backwards and forwards is going to be the best way to win a debate.  But if you can't do that, you need to stick to common sense when explaining your stance. Use humor when you can, and anecdotes from your everyday life to prove your point. Make everything you say short and very clear - nine times out of ten, the shorter a speech is, the better people listening to it will think it is.\n\nI don't know whether you're interested in tips for fighting dirty when it comes to debating, but one method that is sure to freak out your opponent and make you seem smarter is to question them on their thought processes.  Saying, "I don't think that you understand what you are talking about.  Here, let me explain the way things really are." is a bit of a low blow, but it usually works.  Unless your opponent is a lot smarter than you are, anyway.\n\nGood luck and stuff.

Start off saying something common (like the pledge of allegiance) and do it everyday. Listen to the way it should be done and work to imitate it precisely. What you want to do is focus on your vowels first. If you can get the vowels to sound out, the rest will come pretty easy. Also try listening to french audio, even music while you are sleeping. The more you hear it, the more you will be able to enunciate properly. And don't try to roll the R's. The correct way to sound them will come once you get the vowels right.

The best thing you can do is PRACTICE.  Write an outline on a couple notecards -- that are the major points of your speech.  Remember those points - and you will be able to talk freely on the topic.  But really, just practice what you need to say - and it will go smooth.

A persuasive paper, the conclusion should really just say the same thing as the introduction with a slightly more detailed or expanded argument.  Short and plain are usually strongest.  I say this but I really can't write them myself!

Its always good to break the ice with a joke or witty remark. Dont worry about being nervous and shaky, if you are doing a speech for school everyone knows what you feel like. Be your natural self - dont try to be extremely proper or news anchorman like. Just be yourself, study what you wanna say, so you dont have to use to many notes. Use gestures and mimik where appropriate.

good luck, power point presentations are about the most broing thing ever.  try to make your speech more exciting so you're not just reading slides.  nothing is more boring then that and people feel like you wasted their time.

Before or after your presentation, you could distribute some simple (but yes, make it attractive as well) flyers / pamphlets to your audience.. It helps them know that you've put in a lot of effort to your presentation and that you're really interested for them to know what you've got to present to them.. That was what my groupmates and I did for our final year project's presentation and we got an A for it! The panel of lecturers liked it a lot! The other students did not have such flyers for their presentation, so that was advantageous to us as well..\n\nPresent your points and speak with the fullest confidence you can(but not arrogantly, as though you know everything - it's a turn off).. That's the most important - confidence.. Also, give the right body language (hand gestures, etc) and do not speak in mono-tones.. Speak clearly and loud enough for your audience to hear you as well.. Maintain good eye contact to your audience too, so that you can keep their attention focused on your presentation.. Rehearse a bit of all your important lines the day before, so that you will be fully prepared on what you want to say for the presentation.. Use proper English (I assume your presentation is going to be in English) with the correct wordings and grammar (I'm sure you've got all these taken care of).. \n\nOh yeah, since you've got killer presentation slides, try your best not to read "everything" from the slides - or it will kinda defeat the purpose of having killer presentation slides anyway.. \n\nTowards the end of your presentation, perhaps you could also present a demo (if relevant) to your audience - it helps them see the practical side of what you've been trying to convey to them earlier.. Make the demo interesting and do it creatively.. =) Your audience will like it.. \n\nFinally, do dress well for your big day and all the best for your presentation!

You never know what you can do until you try to put your all into it.  First of all \n\nBELIEVE IN YOURSELF...SHOW CONFIDENCE....NO ONE WILL BELIEVE IN YOUR MESSAGE IF YOU DON"T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.  I recently started speaking, it was my first time two years ago, I  practiced.... I had to speak in order to pass my college classes...I GOT A 98 on an Anatomy Presentation\n\nBut I practiced, practiced, practiced, knew my message inside out, no one could ask a question about  my subject Strabismus and throw me off guard.\n\nNow I recite poetry, and even minister at church\n\nAND I WAS BETTER THAN I EVEN DREAMED....AND AFTER SPEAKING AND BEING ABLE TO DO IT SO WELL, I FOUND OUT I ENJOYED IT , AND FOUND OUT PEOPLE ENJOY HEARING ME SPEAK\n\nKNOW WHAT YOU"RE TALKING ABOUT-SO YOU CAN BE PERSUASIVE....\nNever let anyone catch you off guard, and don't appear to be confused yourself\n \nLET PEOPLE EXPERIENCE YOUR PASSION FOR LAW THROUGH YOU SPEAKING!!! \nYOU CAN DO IT!!!!!   RELAX, wipe that sweat from your palms and take control!\n\nYou can start out by looking over the audience, like towards a back wall, and it'll appear as though your're looking at the audience build up your confidence,\nfind a face that you feel comfortable with, look for attentive people.  That should put you in control.  Giving presentations is all about being in control, you demand everyone's attention, and it's your moment to shine.
