Read "how to talk to anyone, anytime and anywhere" by Larry King or "public speaking" by Dale Carnegie.

These books are expensive, public speaking by Dale Carnegie is around #195,000

I am in a similar situation as you, my brother.
Even though I have since realized that public speaking is an important skill that one direly needs, I am just so very bad at it. I hope I'll learn a thing or two from responses here.
If you really want to have excellent public speaking skills, then pay a leadership coach to facilitate your learning...

Firstly, read books on public speaking
secondly, attend seminars and conferences
Thirdly, Listen and watch various styles of speakers
fourth, go back to the books, and choose your style.
Fifth, occasionally, rehearse and record your speech with your phone or any electronic gadget.
Sixth, correct and learn how to grow yourself.
Start to speak from any small group you have joined. Engage yourself at every given event or organization. If you do "church tinz" It will be a good platform to start or from your department's association
seventh, rest! relax! rejoice!

1)The biggest tip is Simply to give yourself the freedom to fail/ stutter during your address.

2)DO NOT APPROACH IT AS IF A MISTAKE HERE/THERE MEANS THE END OF THE WORLD.

3)Be free. Tell yourself you have to perform well but approach it as if it is something very trivial.

4) Watch videos of very articulate and sagacious people. I'll suggest Bill Gates ( especially his speech at Harvard), Barack Obama ( his last address to the congress and one particular speech at the G8 summit that I can't remember the year).

5) Know that you're in control and contrary to your thought, the audience are not there to judge you - they are there to listen.

The biggest tip is not to be afraid of making mistakes; the fear itself will consume you.

It seems we are now getting our priorities right here o
Interesting and million Naira threads making FPs these days.
To improve your public speaking skills, read good books like How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Downes, The Art of Public Speaking by Dale Carnegie, How to Talk to Anyone, Anyehere and Anytime by Larry King; listen to speaker on TEDx(there are ample videos of such speeches on Youtube) and you will hit the ground running. You see the solutions to our problems are lying fallow on the pages of some books, but we've got to dig deep. To discover them.
Believe me, YOU CAN BE A GREAT SPEAKER!

Self confidence and a lot of practices. Rehearse with your friends and like minds and tell them to point out the goods and errors of your presentation. Nevertheless, BOLDNESS is the key. Good luck!

what gives most people confidence in public speaking is the quantum of knowledge thy possess on the topic of discussion. I personally have stage fright, but that only comes to play when I don't have adequate information on the given topic. You can boost your confidence by reading and Learning well. Be a better listener.

Actually I really concur with you but vast knowledge on topic to speak on as confidence will make it more competent on it

*Improve in your English vocabulary daily.
*Have the right set of friends in line with your goal.
*Believe nothing is impossible..
