Dude...I totally disagree with you on some points. In my experience it comes down to this, and I do improv.-when you look up stare at the wall
-speak slowly

-dont even try to control your breathing

-speak slowly
-look at the wall sametime if your comfortable look people in the eyes or look @ thier faces- it makes you more relatable and human
-Don't control your breathing but do- meaning...deep belly breaths each time your going say something
-forget what your going say? Pause and look around, it makes it look like you know what your talking about
-Move around if you can
-Use your tonality and facial expressions to get the point across
-If its just a normal presentation and not a formal one...don't be afraid to engage the audience (half the time I call out one of my friends for not paying attention- its funny/engaging & it relaxes you)
- Use your hands to emphasize points, control them so though- don't have them flailing the whole time.
-if you forgot something...don't panic, just go back to it or forget it all together- they don't know you did something wrong till you place attention on it
-SMILE!
Finally, look@ it as something fun- that nervousness is just misunderstood excitement.
