If you absolutely know what your talking about then you shouldn't have any problem

If stage fright is your problem, take a couple of breaths and relax. If you mess up keep going, don't apologize about the mess up or it'd make it visible to everyone who's there. Practice your speech, and keep practicing it. So your prepared when the big day comes. If eye contact is your problem, look at the last row of your audience to make it look like your looking at everyone. Make sure your comfortable making a speech on the subject as well. Remember, if you try too hard, people would be able to tell. Try talking in a friendly manner as if your just holding a conversation with your friends.

Most people are nervous the first few times they give a speech. I have learned to just go do it. Smile and introduce yourself. Take a deep breath and take your time. Don't talk about how nervous you are or apologise. Just do your best and it will be fine.
If you are talking about a subject you know, just talk about it. Write down 5 points you want to remember to make and mark them out as you go. Nothing bad will happen, and if you fall down or stutter, or say something silly, just laugh. I've even gotten off on a tangent and looked at the front row and said, "Where was I?" and laughed. It'll make the whole audience relax right along with you. Best wishes. Go well.

Know your subject but more importantly know your text, read your speech, get VERY familiar with it, you don't need to memorize it, but the more familiar you are with your text the more comfortable you will be at the podium. Remember to breathe, speak clearly and loudly, my vocal coach always reminded us to "Open your mouths when you speak. Get the jaw out of the way and let the sound out!" and if you can't handle having "all eyes on you" pick a spot on the back wall just above the heads in the back row and no one will realize you aren't making eye contact. Nerves aren't always a bad thing, they keep you on your toes, but too many nerves will turn you into a statue, just relax and imagine you are practicing with a mirror.
Good luck, hope it goes well.

contact your local Toastmasters - they might have someone that can give you hints.. Also practice in front of a mirror and then in front of family and friends. You may also like to have someone video tape you so youcan see if you fidget and what you may have to work on.
