Really good stuff in there. I suggest watching that Adam Savage video, it's only 14 minutes long and he's captivating. Even if you're in a hurry, a couple of minutes will make the point about passion 'click'.
Another great comment that has been influential in my public speaking is an old HN comment by patio11 [1].
Public speaking is hard for everyone, everyone sucks at it, and it can be hard to accept critique for your soft skills. Just keep practicing, record yourself, ask for advice and don't take things personally!
