These are a few tips to help you become a good public speaker.
1. Prepare your topic very well. Have full understanding and faith yourself before trying to deliver a text to others.
2. Practice your speech repeatedly, few times in front of your friends or in front of mirror.
3. Make use of your body language and expressions.
4. Always take a brief moment to introduce yourself to the audience, and always deliver opening and closing statements.
5. There is no harm in keeping a small transcript or list of points you want to deliver, in case you forget or freeze on stage.
6. Use diagrams and charts to make your speech interesting.
7. Wear professional clothes, this will make you look more confident.
