TED Presentations, Rule 12. Practice makes perfect

As a nonprofit organization based in the U.S., TED holds presentations by bringing together people from fields of Technology, Entertainment and Design. TED Conference is devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading". By focusing and analyzing TED presentations, we seek "how to deliver inspiring presentations".

Even with the perfect preparation, many people become stressed about talking in front of a crowd and get scared before the presentation even starts. If the fear is expressed nervously, the audience also senses the unconfident speakers, leading to less attention after all. Therefore, practice is very important. The last rule touches upon "how to overcome the fear of presentations".
