practice in front of a mirror, and when you are in the real speech do the following:
1- Hold your eyesight to an empty chair in the back, and speack.
2- move your eyes slightly among the people as if you're scanning them, don't concentrate on anyone's face.
3- Choose three or four empty chairs to switch your eyesight between so as to look natural.
4- Imagine that all the attendants are Kids, that you are treating like adults. (It's a good trick)
5- Wear good, smell good, be confident.. and Go.

I had to step in as best man a day before hand at a wedding of 300. I can tell you the best thing is to just prepare your material very well, memorise it if need be. Like everything else confidence comes with time but you will be more confident if you have practiced with your material. After half a minute you will settle in to your speech. Avoid alcohol... you will need a clear head. One other thing... Talk slowly but think quickly

First be sure to know fairly well what you're talking about. Study your topic as fully as possible. Try using english in everyday conversations so you'll get used to the language, also read lots, then at least you might start thinking in english a bit and doing speeches using it would come out somewhat naturally.

Practice it in ur mind. Be confident. If u r nervous directly don't look at people . Imagine that u r more intelligent than those who r gathered there.
