Short instructional clip (YouTube) by Omar Zenhom offering public-speaking advice: when nervous, slow down, pause, and breathe so the audience can absorb your points; pausing when unsure signals thoughtfulness and lets you resume smoothly.
We all tend to speed up when we're nervous. But your audience can't absorb everything at the speed of thought. You need to slow down. Don't be afraid to pause and take a breath. If for any reason you don't know what to say in a particular moment, just pause. People are gonna think that you're just allowing them to think and you're making a point and then pick up where you're left off.
