Thanks so much for the advice and thoughts everyone. Toastmasters? I've never heard of it... other than it's a toaster brand lol. I'll have to look it up. I'm at the beginning of my college career and I'm pretty sure I'll have plenty more presentations.

Lucky thing is, it's not really a speech. It's a persuasive power point presentation on a subject I got to choose. It helps when it's something your actually interested in, I guess. I'm doing adopting from shelters and ways you can help homeless animals.

The breathing thing should help, I will definitely do that.
