I get nervous about prepared remarks before a large group, but can do a Q and A on my feet with no problem.

Now, it's been awhile since I've had to give prepared remarks before a big crowd, but for me the most important thing is to slow down my speech, pause, give people time to reflect. I can easily get through what should be an hour's worth of words in 10 minutes and no one will understand it or process it. I also find that once I find my rhythm, I seem more comfortable and that makes people more comfortable asking questions (which is important for the things I'm usually attempting to do).
