I highly recommend Toastmasters. Best place to practice giving a speech in front of a group of people that you don't know. They have chapters all around the world.

Had great fun with them when I was 16 years old. They brought us to the pub for a few drinks. The good old days.
Feels like a cult, never heard a bad thing about them.

Just my internal guts feeling that probably is wrong.

They don't take all your money or isolate you from your friends and family. If it's a cult, it's of the harmless variety.
Yeah, agreed. But it also gets you comfortable presenting, I was recommended them by a trusted friend as well. The overtly marketing hype on their website reminds me of those motivational speaker cults.
Be alert for any recommendations to sound more certain than you are.
