Breathing Is the Key to Persuasive Public Speaking
Coursera has a University of Washington public speaking course, Introduction to Public Speaking.
⬐ thanatropismThat's more about organizing a talk in memorable points than overcoming shyness/vocal technique, etc. A lot of it is useful for essay-writing as well.(To be fair: I must have followed through with a third of it before priorities took over)
