Pace
Nervousness accelerates speech by around twenty percent. Deliberately slowing your first two sentences resets both your breathing and the room's attention.
Pitch
Speaking slightly lower than your anxious pitch instantly reads as calm. Warm up by humming before an important call.
Pause and emphasis
Silence frames meaning. Emphasis chooses what matters. Mark two words per paragraph to stress and one place to stop — that is the whole technique.
