I remember earlier this year, I did a presentation on Unison for my politics class. I remembered my presentation so I could make it without the aid of notes (oh how cameron-esk ).
Lesson 1 Cyfr: make notes only of key words. Slow your speech down to give yourself time to think. Theory is difference between higher classes and working classes, the speed we speak ... watch people on telly. You will notice politicians, etc., speak slower than we do in Lancs. Does work, I promise.

Lesson 2: Eyeball the audience, looking around at each individual, makes them pay attention more.

Lesson 3: Stand straight, feet firmly on the ground, a little apart so you have balance.

Lesson 4: Before you go 'on stage', tighten every muscle in your body, then relax.

Lesson 5: Make sure you have been for a pee first.

Will send you my fee later .. tee hee.
