Some driving instructor told me this in the seventies. He was a gruff, large man who chain smoked in the learners' car, and I think it was his simple away of putting things that made things stick.
We nicknamed him ALdO CHAIN:)
But, steering in the direction of a skid applies to speaking tension.
Simply put, by tensing up your muscles beforehand (either way before you speak or just prior to) you are exhausting your muscles with tension--after which your muscles will automatically relax.
So, if you are tense, make yourself more tense, by constricting and squeezing your muscles.
Tighten your fingers, your hands, your arms, your shoulders, your neck--then work the lower regions.
Then let the tension go--and enjoy relief as you begin to seize the stage.
