Rehearsing the presentation multiple times is the most effective way to combat stage fright. This helps the speaker become familiar with their content, gain confidence in their abilities, and anticipate potential problems or questions from the audience. Adding distracting elements to the slides or recording narration does not address the root cause of stage fright, and may actually make the presentation less effective. Choosing a simple design theme can be helpful, but is not as important as rehearsing the content.
