1. Move. Fortunately your mind and your body are all part of the same system. You can't feel shy with your hands in your back pockets, you can't nervous while jumping in the air with your hands and legs spread wide apart. Just before you go on, find a private place (a bathroom will do) and shake out your body.
2. Find the friendly face. God bless them, they usually make up about 5% of the audience, smiling and nodding along with everything. Find three or four and keep coming back to them for comfort.
3. Square breathing. See previous post.
4. Have a life raft in case you blank out. You could ask a question of the audience like, "Has anybody experienced..." or "Does anybody have any questions so far?"
