You should make a careful research on the audience, purpose, place, time and content of your presentation which should be comprehensive, informative, correct, convincing and thought-provoking. With through preparation, you will feel more confident and less nervous and have a good control of your audience and your presentation. With control, you will be “in charge” and your audience will listen positively to your message.

You could use humor or tell them some stories related to your presentation. Besides, you could ask them some questions and then give them reward if their answers are correct.
