I'm not great at presentations - they're not total nightmares for me and I don't foul myself over them, but I do get a little nervous. I might talk a bit quickly or stutter once or twice, but it's never anything too noticeable. In terms of preparation, I type out all my notes in big font and just read them over several times beforehand, to ensure it sounds good when spoken out loud and that it's actually a fairly decent speech in terms of content and structure as well. During the presentation itself, I just try to relax and pretend I'm having a conversation with someone, or explaining something to a mate, rather than viewing the whole thing as a show of sorts.
