If you're a bit nervous, you might say something like,
"Give me a moment while I imagine you all naked, it's supposed to keep me from being nervous."

First, you should say:'Hello, every one, I'm... It's may be a nonsense.Then, you should tell the audience the theme according to the speech, after that, you may begin with the main part to the speech. If you are nervous, you wan't look to the audience and the listener. As you are nervous, you must do a deap breath before the speech. Don't be embarrassed if this is your first speech, if this is your second or some more time to speak on a speech, I think you should be very experienced. Finally, you may say:'Bye bye everyone,see you next time.' Then the audience will think you're very humorous, and they will like your speech very much. This is my opinion, that's all.

DON'T start off with a joke unless you're a great joke teller. Everyone expects a joke and if it isn't killer you just dug yourself a hole. Figure out what your audience expects and then do something unique. The first line of your speech should be something they don't expect. I like to begin with the opposite of what I actually came to talk about.
I once gave a wedding toast by starting witha definition of the Viking concept of "doom" as an unavoidable fate. Totally unexpected and I had everyones attention. I ended it by comparing to destiny and how the bride and groom were destined to be together, yada, yada, yada. It was talked about for years later.

I like to start with a story that relates to the speech or an introduction that make this speech relevant to the listener. An example is this tax increase will prevent you from sending your children to college.

Start with joke--unless your speech covers anything to with reproductive issues, genocide, or poverty/slash starvation adn pandemics, i.e., know your audience.
For example: Today I'm going to talk to you about reconstruction after Hurricane Katrina. I know we've heard a lot about this, but there is more to learn other than George Bush "hates black people." (see that's what Kanye West said on the telethon when Mike "yeah, baby" Meyers was standing with him....***cricket, cricket***

Act nervous, pick your nose a bit, swat at the fly flying by....set on a determined chase to catch it......whammmmmmmmmmm! just as it lands on the nearest lady's hat. Apologize profusely. This should, of course, gain you everyone's undivided attention. Then make like Spock, straighten your jacket and tie, check one more time for stray goobers as you try to focus on your greeting.

Tell them about something stupid you've done in the past.It should be
something others in the crowd may have done themselves,or perhaps
feared doing because it would make themselves look like an idiot.

For those who are still talking, remember, it takes a nuke but 1/10000 of a second to still all the voices in this room.

Is it a speech about spelling and grammar? I'm sorry, but you are not ready to attempt that one.
