Practice.
Practice in front of a mirror, practice in front of friends and family.

A tip from Toastmasters: the brain cannot distinguish between a group of 12 and a larger group. It's at max panic. So practice in front of 12 and if you can do that, you can speak to hundreds.

From previous experience:
- if you survive the first twenty seconds, you realize it's gonna be okay. Just grit and go.
- lighting can be your friend. If you're on stage and light is on you, you might just be speaking to a barely visible room, so you can ignore the people.
- deep diaphram breaths

You can do this. It's normal to be afraid.
Public speaking is so universally feared that most people would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy.

It's normal to be afraid, but you can push through it.

Rehearse in front of mirror. Record so that you are used to your voice when on a 🎤.
