Visual Confidence Humans are visual animals.   Every presenter is, therefore, judged first on their body language. Body language speaks loudly, does not lie, and always registers (consciously or unconsciously) so it sets the tone for whatever follows. Once that tone is set, it can be difficult to change. If you are confident about what you are presenting, your body language will show it. If you believe in what you are presenting, your body language will show it. If you are so comfortable with your message and content that you could do it anywhere at any time, your body language will show it. If you are not, your body language will show that, too. Either way, your audience will know.   And they react to you and your message accordingly.

The More You Sweat in Training,  The Less You Bleed in Battle This is the motto of the Navy SEALS.   And it is relevant to ANY skill.   Presentation is a skill like any other.   If you invest the time and energy and do the hard work it takes to get better,  you will get better.  If you don't, you won't.  That's it.  It's your choice. Are you willing to do what it takes?
