I myself an a bit of an actress, I guess. I'm in my school's acting class and I'm in our play too. And you know what? When I get on stage, I'm nervous everytime.
There really isn't much that makes the nervousness go away. Actually, the nervousness makes some people do better! It gives you an extra boost to get you going. You won't really loose it until you get into your lines.
Anyway, the best thing to do, is keep you POC, or point of concentration. Concentrate on something while saying your lines: it makes you less nervous and helps you focous.
And remember: You're obviously a good actress, or you wouldn't have gotten the part! Break a leg!

I heard in a movie that when you're nervous, thats a good sign that means you're ready. Take deep breaths, drink water maybe eat something... and go out there and be yourself.
I know where you're coming from, I get so nervous whenever I need to do a presentation. But after I'm finished with it, I feel great!
Just remember
- talk slowly (even if you think you're talking really slow, you're actually not because most of the time you're rambling on and on and no one can understand you. so talk slow)
- body position is important, don't slouch, or sit or cross your arms or anything like that. Just stand up straight and have your arms rest at your side, or have them folded in front of you, or behind you.
- and just relax!!! have fun and you should enjoy this, not spaz out about it.
If it helps, try listening to your favorite song before showtime so then you get pumped up. Or talk to your best friend to help get your nerves setteled down.

Before you're about to go on, drink lots of water and eat a banana, don't ask..lol..it's suppose to help calm your nerves.
Now when you're speaking to the audience, try to look above their heads. Just look straight ahead so then it won't seem as scary.
Sorry, that's all I got...hope it helps!
*Good Luck!*
