what i do is listen to music that make me dance before i go on stage or if i am nervous about something.
and it work, the music give me energy and power to show me that i am the greatest.
i suggest you try it.
It is a phobia of public speaking, also called Glossophobia.
I have the same problem and have endured it for as long as I can remember. I know the fear that you are describing and I’ve lived it. I’m no stranger to how debilitating it is and I have gone through hell and back trying to find a solution.
To tell you that I have found my quest, I’d be lying but I have found several way and methods that can decrease the intensity of the fear and it’s effects.
It helps to read about it, so I’ve read several self help books on the subject, the best I came upon is one called Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers. Reading about your feeling helps you put your mind at rest knowing that there are people out there that feel what you feel and that you are not alone and helps you cope.
Recently I have come upon The EFT. Emotional Freedom Technique, The link is bellow, follow it and the download the free manual they provide, read it and it will help you. It helped me somewhat, but I am still at the start of my journey:
