Just like in singing, learn to use your diaphragm. Talk loud without shouting and use your stomach muscles.
Practice if you can. Stand on stage and have friends sit in the back row. Recite some lines or a monologue and have them tell you if they can hear you clearly. Make sure they're being honest! Maybe you can take turns doing this.
good luck!

The most important factor in projection is clear, crisp articulation, speaking every sound of every word clearly. And not letting your voice fade away at the end of sentences.

pretend your voice is a ball and breath in so your stomach expands and ballance the amount you breath in by how far you need to "throw the ball" if you are on a small stage with a small line its gonna be a small breath. if you are on a large stage with the same line you need to breath a little more. remember to 'aim' your voice as you project it out from your stomach/diaphram.

If you think like you sound like a dork you are probabely saying it right! ENUNCIATE EVERY WORD! Speak clearly and loudly but don't shout. Also, microphones help but they aren't going to make a big difference if you are soft.

Boy did you get some great advice. I never forgot the advice of my high school drama teacher: hit the back wall.
