Tom Krieglstein suggests practicing your speech by reciting it aloud while walking around a busy city like Chicago. Exposure to random onlookers and traffic noise desensitizes you to an audience, so the actual stage feels less intimidating.
If you are someone who gets nervous when speaking on stage. A suggestion I have is to walk around a big city like, I'm here in Chicago. And while you're walking around, say out loud your speech. Just practice it. Yes, People are gonna look at you, cars are gonna beep. But the reality is, by you practicing it out loud in front of people, I know they're not actually the people you're gonna talk to, but by saying it in front of people, it actually helps you to reduce the nerves when you then get stage because you've already had a bunch of random eyeballs staring at you as you practice the speech.
