What works for me is to purposely speak slowly. Try listening to someone else do it sometime, it doesn't sound as dumb as you might think. Sounds WAY better than when you rush through. It comes across as you being calm. (at least in english).

Also, if you have any friends in the crowd, just act as though the whole speech is just a conversation with them. Should help you relax, and if you put that extra bit of personality into the speech you'll sound more natural and people will pay more attention.
