Absolutely normal. The fear of public speaking is the number one fear for everyone including seasoned speakers. The first 90 seconds are when we experience the greatest stress where even your heart beat increases to double i. E. 144 beats. To overcome this effect prepare a fabulous starting sentence and you would have utilized that 90 second window very productively. Secondly, we tend to become afraid of people abut their judgement of you and your performance. The best way to counter that it to speak on only what you know. If you attempt to venture into areas of dubious information, you will be in deep waters.
