Well, this is a crazy lil tip, but really helped me with presentation and public speaking skills.
First, I'd look in the mirror (yes, I have my moments of vanity) and practice saying things out loud. It's always good to check expressions and make sure you actively listen to the tone of your voice. Read monologues from plays, or narrate scenes from books. That way you can know what tone to use when, and with practice, it will come natural to you.
Secondly, if you have old toys, practice reading with them. Example, when I was 15, I'd take my Barbie and Ken dolls and pretend they are clients coming for a reading. I'd pretend they've asked questions for various situations (from starting a business, to dealing with an extra marital affair, to how can Barbie lose 5 lbs for the bikini beauty contest), and accordingly spread cards and talk it out with them.
Simple little tips that have really proved helpful to me.
