You'll be nervous going up there, but once you start talking all that will melt away, don't worry.

it's kinda the opposite for me ^^ When i get too nervous in the middle of my presentation, i take a two second break by coughing (not a lung cancer cough, just a light 'oh i got something in my throat' cough), it release a lot a pressure, and everything is better afterwards =)
I like starcraft

Why would you quote some guy (regardless of fame or relevancy) at the end of a speech? Do you want people to remember a quote from your speech, or a quote from some other guy ?

The quote is good for opening though.

I wanted to end the speech with a really thought-provoking question, and this quote fit the bill. I would just ask "How much would you pay for the Universe?" without quoting, but competition rules, and I felt that Dr.Tyson deserves the reference

As long as you don't get ambushed by your ex girl friend Jim Raynor style, you'll be fine!

Good luck! I love public speaking myself, when I know what I'm talking about at least. Just pretend the audience are all naked
But I'm off creep... and so I slow down, what are hellions doing here? I don't belong here...

Yeah, I have a speech due today (Saturday) for my speech class.

I'm not nervous, I just hope I don't forget my shit when I go up on the stage. Nothing worse than forgetting what you practiced. I like to try and memorize my whole speech that way it looks natural as I'm slowly walking across the room while keeping 100% eye contact instead of being pinned to a podium with my eyes glued to a transcript written in front of me.

Anyways here are some TIPS for giving a speech: don't be quiet or monotone... try and be interesting. Nothing worse than a boring speech. Spice it up! Nobody wants to see you fail because it becomes awkward for the whole room, so don't worry about the audience. Have pride in your speech. You put all the work into it so show it off with a confident voice and a positive mood.
GL HF... YOLO..lololollol.
