I will give have a meeting with parents tomorrow afternoon.
I can't with my nerves.
My partner says that the best is to begin with a joke, but I rarely tell jokes irl

I know what to say and all but not how to say it without rush into words over and over again. I want to be natural and don't seem very formal.

My idea is taking 5 tranxiliums or a couple of cups of rum before. ( joking, of course)

I'm curious. Someone of you have experience giving speeches. I can talk to people one by one but in a group with adults is a nightmare.
