Speak Clearly.
Speak Slowly.
Think before you speak.

Talk slowly and at a good voice tone--not to loud. Think about what you are saying and how you are saying it. Are you using a lot of slang or bad grammar? Are you talking as if you project low self-esteem or just shy? You question is well written, so I bet you are not so bad a speaking either. If you are having trouble getting in front of groups of people to talk or give a speech or anything like that --I have had much trouble with that too. I found it easier to do when I was younger. I was not the least bit nervous in high school or first part of college. Then I started stuttering a little and I have always talked fast though. I think it has to do with how we perceive things. I am a teacher now and I catch myself slurring my words sometimes and I just touch my chest and smile, take a deep breath and say the word again--the one I meant to say and go on like it never happened. So think about what you are saying and your body language and this will help you. Also, if you have to talk to a group always practice and prepare what you are going to say if you get nervous, b/c memorization will and does come in handy. I can not stress that enough. Good luck and keep your chin up. :) You are fine.

If you're speaking in a formal situation (giving a speech or presentation) make sure you know your subject. It's better to sound enthusiastic and be a liitle rusty on the technical side than to be techniclally perfect (correct breathing, posture etc) and sound boring. Having said that, make sure you don't speak too quickly, give your listeners a chance to take in what you've said. If you're worried about conversations just remember that if you listen to the people you're talking to it will be much easier to ask questions and theefore sound interested in what they're saying. If you're asked 'where you work' 'what you like doing' try not to give one word answers. By giving longer answers you're hellping the other person keep the conversation going. Look at the pages below for more help.

You're not talking WITH you are talking TO.
You better know what the hell you're talking about otherwise SHUT UP.
Next, look in the mirror and say to youself.
AT LEAST I'M NOT TALKING AT A NUDIST CONVENTION
Finally, talke a block of Ice on stage with you and a hammer and hit it until it breaks into a few pieces. Then say:
"I have a hard time getting things going, so I thought I'd start by breaking the Ice a little!"
If that don't get a laugh, then you better DROP YOUR PANTS and pretend you ARE TALKING TO A NUDSIT CONVENTION!
That will relieve a LOT of pressure!

Video tape yourself giving a 5-minute speech. Watch the video tape with a few friends who are better public speakers than you. Give a different 5-minute speech and video tape it, and watch that tape as well. You will notice lots of things about your style that you can slowly correct.

and on the day of the event imagine giving a speech to a bunch of monkeys.

Join a "toastmasters" group. Just google what I put in quotes. There are chapters all over the world. It is a group for people who like to make speaches or for those who want to learn.
