Fear regulation. You solve for this the same way you solve for anaphylaxis: regulated exposure. Learn to embrace the fear in small doses and through frequent practice you will eventually have none. The term military people use is embrace the suck. If you do this enough you will eventually lose almost all your irrational cognitive fears, which unlocks capabilities other people find strangely and unexpectedly confident.
Nicomachean Ethics provides further details. As for fear itself read Laches and Charmides knowing that recklessness is not the absence of fear, but the absence of risk analysis. When you are confident and fearless you can account for risk without delay of action or hesitation of decision.
The other half is speech. Once you become confident you must modify your ability to speak in a way that reflects such confidence. You must think ahead, on one hand, in order to know what to say. On the other hand you must remain slow and in control to fully regulate your spoken words such that each word is deliberately delivered with the desired timing and emphasis. This takes practice, but is less challenging than it sounds. If you can write with confidence, you can speak with confidence. If you cannot write then I would work on that first.
