You should speak more loudly but at the same speed you always speak during an oral presentation or report. Speaking loudly helps ensure that all audience members can hear you clearly, while maintaining your usual speaking speed helps to maintain a natural flow and rhythm to your speech. Speaking more slowly can make you appear nervous or unsure, while speaking softly and very quickly may make it difficult for your audience to understand and follow along with your presentation.
