Most of the time I just take a calm pause when I feel a block coming. I wait until I feel like I can say my sentence or have replaced my sentence with an easier one. Taking lots of space, sitting or ...

Personally I think it's less about trying to "appear" confident, but rather building that confidence within yourself so it invariably becomes real. I'll go into situations where I'm talking clearly fo...
