your classmates have to be there for you so dont worry about it. Know what you are talking about so if you do get flustered you will be able to make a smooth transition, talk as if you are talking to a friend.

Know that you are confident in what you are talking about. If you know you will speaking often, you may want to look for a local organization named Toastmasters International that will help you learn to become a better public speaker. It is very cheap to become a member and is very effective. Try searching them via the internet.

first, don't look at the people you're talking to untill you're feeling confident to do so, usually it's best to focus on a place at the back of the hall, or maybe on the lights above them, adress the room not the people in it, try and convince yourself the room is empty and you're just practicing. that sort of confidence only comes with sort of practice

I just had to do the same thing a few days ago, take a deep breath, and be confident. What's the worst that can happen? Ok, so just look straight ahead and use a stong confident, just pretend that they are all your friends or something.

Don't look at the people. Look right above their heads, so it seems like your making eye contact. Don't talk too formally. Talk to the people, not at them. Pretend your having a conversation with them.

practice in front of a mirror talking aloud. practice in front of a family member. Practice using a tape recorder pretending there's an audience in front of you.
It's natural to be nervous, we all are! Good luck

focus on a spot on the back wall and try to make it look like you're making eye contact

try rehearse in front of the mirror or in front of your soft toys ..
on the actual day, imagine yourself inside your room and the people down the stage are your soft toys ..
haha =D
