First of all, we should establish a cognition. It is a very common problem to be nervous when speaking and performing on stage. The world's most famous performers, singers and actors all have stage fright pressure. Once they become the focus of attention, they will trigger a nervous reaction like you said. So first accept this situation and understand that this is a common phenomenon, not because you are introverted and timid, but because extroverted and confident people will be affected by this "stage fright" when they come to power. Famous tenors all over the world will make their performances abnormal for fear of nervousness. Domingo's highest record is that his voice broke five times in a performance. Therefore, everyone will have stage fright. The two biggest reasons are: (1) insufficient preparation; (2) The gains and losses are too heavy. You said that the more you try to be perfect, the more you screw up. That's the reason. If you know that being nervous on the stage is a common problem, you don't have to highlight your shortcomings and difficulties. Try to treat your nervousness with a normal heart and accept it. Once you do this, you can live in peace with it.
If you want to have a good speech ability, you need to do more preparation and practice on weekdays. Don't just sneak around in private, but openly invite your classmates and friends to give you feedback, and even ask them to record and video you, so that you can evaluate yourself more effectively and objectively and make favorable corrections. Escape is not the best policy. It is better to use the power of escape to strengthen yourself, so as to catch up!

Never mention your nervousness or apologize for your performance during your speech, which will only make you lose confidence even more.
10. If you can arouse the audience's interest in the opening remarks, the whole speech will become relaxed and smooth.
