Act outwardly confident no matter what your inner you says. Always have calm eyes, move slowly, and sit in dominant poses. Even if the inner you is telling you you’re lying to yourself, nobody will be able to tell.

As for the actual icebreaker, just speak slowly and don’t be afraid to take pauses.

So much of it comes down to breathing and posture. When we are anxious we hold our breath which literally causes more panic in the body. Try walking around with your chest pushed out, standing up straight with slow breaths and notice the difference. Mental rehearsal of speaking in public has been shown to have almost as good results as actually practicing it! Every morning and evening with eyes closed imagine yourself giving the perfect introduction in front of people. How would that go? How would you feel? Imagine people reacting positively as they see how confident you are. In these imagination sessions Really enjoy it and make it as good as possible, Hollywood confidence. On the day keep the strong posture and breathing all the way before class, push your chest out and walk tall, deep breaths. If you feel nervous that's fine, fear is fine, admitting that to yourself rather than fighting it will take some of it's power away. Keep breathing deep. There is no pressure on you because you've already won by standing up to do this and hitting your fears head on.

The more you acknowledge and step up to your fears the more they disappear

Join a club that forces you to do regular public speaking. Regular exposure is the only way.
