First of all, the very best way to deal with nervousness is too practice. While speaking, concentrate on breathing slowly and deeply.

Great Speeches, Communication Tips, & Public Speaking Skills 70+ PowerPoint and Presentation Resources and Great Examples Things wordy, geeky, and webby It’s not PowerPoint’s fault that presentations have become boring and useless.

LibriVox Simon Schama: The lost art of great speechmaking | From the Guardian Full text: Winston Churchill's speech Audio: 'We shall fight on the beaches' (12mins 16s) The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Thursday April 26 2007 The article below referred to a recording of the speech. We should have made clear that this was a subsequent recording. The speech Churchill gave to the House of Commons on June 4 1940 was not recorded - it was another 38 years before recording equipment was introduced into the House of Commons. It was well after midnight on February 7 1787 when Richard Brinsley Sheridan MP got up in the House of Commons to flay the hide off Warren Hastings, the impeached governor of Bengal. The chamber was packed to the rafters, notwithstanding the 50-guinea price for tickets. But virtuoso marathons of oratory weren't at all unusual in that distant golden age of eloquence (and they were a lot more fun than the Castro all-nighter). When did you last hear a speech that good? She was right.
