Yes, magnesium works on catecholamine release, it could calm you. or maybe a combination of calcium - magnesium.Taurine is also stabilizing.
If you can try magnesium taurate and you get the two in one.
You have no time, so the best would be to exercise to cal and sleep well. You could try excercise just before the presentation or at least walk.
I sugest you try to go to the place before or with enough time ,be in the room where you have to talk and actually talk so you can have an idea of how your voice sounds and familiarize with the place. This can help.
Anyes, kava could work better than valerian. However I do not recommed to excperiment with new substances in the very occasion.
Good luck!
