Until I took a class about it I hated it SO much. I thought I would fail.
But I realized if I believe in it and care, I'm awesome.
You ask me to be detached, its like the energy drains out of me.
Some points:
I usually try to start with a narrative either rehearsed or on the fly, which I do often because it appeals to my creative side.
Projection helps - shoulders straight, voice from the gut. Confidence makes it easier.
Try to look to the middle of the room. Try not to stare implicitly at one person though.
Practice having strong visualizations that garner positive feelings - we have great imaginations and rock on good vibes.
If you can't do the rest, just remember this: Take deep breaths and RELAX. Its said that more people fear public speaking than death (wonder if that's true). I've actually seen someone pass out from a presentation because they weren't breathing.
