The more you do it, the more relaxed you will be about it. The first time I had to speak in front of people, I was so nervous I felt dizzy, but then I got more relaxed about it. As people said, if you know your subject well you will be fine, I have had trouble when I wasn't sure what I was saying because I would lose my thread and have no idea what i was saying, but when I know the subject well I can go off on a tangent and it is fine. Maybe try to relate it to telling a story as I find that helps. It depends on the situation really. The other week I gave a presentation in front of a room full of people and it was broadcast on the internet too! I felt really edgy beforehand, then I got going and even though my presentation went wrong on the computer I kept going okay and it was fine!
