Here are two ways of beating the problem of public speaking fear. One is a short-term solution which helps immediately, and the other is a long term cure.
Short-term Policy for Public Speaking Anxiety
An inexperienced speaker should start straight away in a supportive environment such as a course. The coach begins a conversation with the speaker and the coach continues the conversation but he moves away from the front, and the speaker continues to talk. Soon the speaker finds himself by himself up front talking to the coach at the back of the room. He continues speaking in front of strangers. There are mistakes. It can be uncomfortable but the speaker is happy he did it afterwards. It is best to make the mistakes in this environment because it will make it easier to face an audience later. This helps to create confidence.
The Long-term Cure
If you can relax your muscles the pre-speech nerves disappear by natural means (not using drugs or alcohol) of using a system of relaxation. You will find that public speaking fear normally preceded by tenseness will not be felt as you muscles will automatically relax.
