How can I become better at speaking in public
user
For most people, some of the most important things to focus on include:

-   Developing “public speaking experience” -- you can really only get this through practicing.
-   If possible, making sure that there’s a mix of audience members.
-   Knowing what you want to say.
-   Making the most of what you say.
-   Having some kind of “platform” -- a reason to be there and a reason for the audience to listen to you.
-   Preparing in advance so that you can get your ideas organized
-   Being interesting and motivating

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these?  Here’s an example, you could say you want to practice public speaking in order to give a talk, or you could take a class or do some other course.

You can start practicing by giving a speech at your place of work, and doing it in front of a few people.  That way, you’re less likely to get too nervous.  Once you’ve done that successfully, you could give a talk in front of a larger audience.  Or, if you already are involved in some organization, you could practice giving a talk at a meeting.  You could give your talk to one person or a small group.

Let me ask you some questions about how you’re going to prepare and give the talk:

-   Who do you want to speak to?  
-   Do you want to speak to a small or large audience?  
-   Who are you going to speak to?  
-   How long will your talk be?  
-   What will your talk be about?
