    While you're up there pick an item in the back of the room, and every time you have to look out at the audience, focus on that object. After doing this a few times, you'll feel a little better and be able to look around the room more comfortably. Speaking in front of people really is one of those things that it just takes time getting over. I used to feel like you do. Now I do all kinds of seminars and presentations for my job, and for my church. It will get better - trust me. =)
