* Make sure you thoroughly know your subject matter. * Speak to your audience, not at them. Move your eye contact across the entire audience and not to one person or group.

* Speak in a relaxed tone, but loud enough where all can hear you easily. * Keep your posture appropriate yet relaxed. * Some appropriate humor goes a long way. * Do not belabor your presentation (keep it content based, to the point, and not so long that you will lose your audience's interest. * Hold the audience's questions until the end, by indicating there will be a Q & A session at the end. * Try to involve the audience without side tracking away from the content of your presentation.

* Make sure you dress appropriately. * Some times visuals are of great help, but don't over so it and do not use sound effects.

* When you state a fact or statistic, back it up with a reference. For example, "according to..." Well, these are a few hints off the top of my head. I am sure others can add to it. Just remember to be relaxed, and speak to your audience as if they were one person.
