It's 'Help the LoL Monster' Time

Today's Issue: Public Speaking
My friends, I've recently taken a long, hard glance at myself recently (trying to tackle the demons head on, sometimes literally) and I've realised that there is nothing worse than waiting and having anticipation plague your senses in hopes of addressing your woes to a group of curious Georges successfully.
How does Barack (I won't say Mr. President because I'm not American, NOT because he's black) maintain his cool, suave-ness, knowing that an entire nation's eyes are glued to the moving of his lips? Doesn't he get all insecure about his mouth and whether teeth-crud is lodged in and around crevasses? I suppose at that point of talking, there are more prominent issues at hand to address than simple oral hygiene.
In the past, I've been forced by Australia's educational system to endure said psychological torture for the sake of academic assessment and given that I'm here to speak of these experiences, I haven't drowned in my own pool of self-loathing. Yet.
It's not so much the act of speaking and the words the accompany it, but more-so the whole keeping-your-ego-in-check-and -self-judgmental-antics-to-a- minimum thing. And the sweating, oh the uncontrollable sweating. My nervousness becomes highly evident when a glistening faux-mo forms just above my shaky upper-lip. At least something is growing in that area of my face.
So I ask all you cool Orblers, how do I cope with and eventually conquer the pressure of public speaking without having to carry that weight of feeling like a little bitch at the same time?
