HAAA Not get nervous... everyone gets nervous. so you say to yourself it's normal to feel nervous.
I only have to talk to the people not put on a circus act.
One tip for you. Focus you attention on one person at a time. As if you are talking to that one person and everyone else are just people standing in a crowd.
Then so you don't make that one person feel odd every couple sentences you find another person to talk to in the other direction.
Just one person at a time that's all...

I was in the same situation years ago and my Father told me to imagine the crowd sitting there in their underwear.It was actually hard for me not to laugh in the middle of my speech.

Sorry, no good answer to this one... But being a little nervous is a good thing. It keeps you from getting cocky, and not practising your speech. So, try using your nervousness to your advantage.... Good luck!

I had to give a eulogy for my best friend.....when she had died suddenly...I mean it was horrible...i normally would never get up in front of somebody let alone give a speech...But something told me to just do it!! I did it!!! It was about 500 people!!! And what I did was focus on somebody, just one person...Pretended like i was talking to them...It worked out fine...Best of luck to you!!!

write it down. practice it and when you are up there....start looking at the audience...read if you have to and make lots of eye contact...add a joke to your speech..that should lighten the mood as well

Tell them what you are going to tell them
tell them
tell them what you told them
If YOU are nervous, pretend that your audience is naked.

Imagine all of them naked and smile a little remembering that they are people too.
