1. before the day of: rehearse as many ways as possible. sing your speech, try reading it backwards, etc. this will help you realize how many OTHER ways you could sound silly. and you're not doing those things, you're simply talking. no big deal.
2. dance or shake your body rigorously before you go onstage or in front of the group. here's why, when you scramble your body, your mind will purposefully try to correct by reading in a straightforward manner. this will reduce your chances of skipping words because all the energy to rush is gone.
3. listen to a song that makes you feel on top of the world before going in. this will help give you the appearance that you are UBER confident and no one will think you are nervous. just don't be afraid to seem overly cocky, you DO know the information. act it.
4. whatever you do, DON'T read it a hundred times before you give the speech. this will snuff out the element of sincerity to your story (in my case, making valedictorian). it is wise to rehearse before you go onstage but more than 3 times or so is unnecessary overkill.
5. get a massage the day before. this will release endorphins in your brain which will give you positive feelings. you will be more sure of yourself that you can appear "cool, calm and collected" in front of a crowd of people. also, keep getting massages regularly for stress management purposes even after your speech. I'm almost a LMT! trust me...
