Prepare the structure
Forget about presenting without any preparation. Your presentation should include an introduction, main content (article) and conclusion. Each part should be linked to the next so that you and the audience can better keep in line with the topic. If your presentation runs smoothly, it is easier for you to remember. Work on the structure. Read your material aloud repeatedly until you have a clear overview of the scope of the topic. Mind maps can also help by dividing more complex topics into sub-areas that you will be able to work with better.
Use tools and accessories
Adding visuals (videos, images, sound recordings ...) to a presentation will not only improve your speech but, at least momentarily, distract attention away from you solely as a speaker. You will thus gain some space to collect your thoughts as well as take a short rest. It is also an excellent method for keeping an audience's attention.
Smile
A smile is relaxing. Whenever you smile, you send a signal of certainty and self-belief to your audience. Despite what you feel inside, you will look confident from the outside.
Slow down
When standing in front of an audience, be sure to speak slowly. It is a natural instinct to speak quickly so that you get everything over with quicker. At the same time you want the audience to take something from the presentation. So slow down and breathe deeply. This will also help your speaking skills. You will then not feel like you are trying to "yell" throughout the presentation.
It's not about you
It doesn't matter what you think or feel; it depends solely on what you say. The audience is present only because they want or need to understand what you're saying. You are there just to provide information to your listeners. It's all about them, not you.
