Answer 2

You need a great opening. The first thing you need to do is grab their attention. I'm not sure what exactly you're doing in your presentation, but you need something to get them to pay attention. It does not have to pertain directly to the presentation either.
Next, you have about 10-15 sentences to grab them. This is where they make the decision if they like you and are going to listen to what you have to say or not. If you don't grab them now, you will be back peddling to grab their attention the whole presentation.
Next, tell a story. Humanize yourself to them. You are not speaking at them, but to them. On the same level. You're in control, but you are equals.
Be relate-able, and most of all, be honest. Make sure all the info you are talking about is 100% true and accurate. It sounds funny, but a huge percentage of presentations/speakers make up things so they don't look like they don't know something. If someone asks you a question and you don't know the answer, tell them you don't know, but can discuss it after the presentation or through email.
Next, practice practice practice! Nothing can be more enlightening than to practice the presentation in the mirror, around friends/family, tape yourself on cam, anything to see what flows and what needs work. It will never fully workout like it does on paper.
Those are the basics of a good presentation. The best way is to pick and choose from above, and make it fit the presenters personal style. Other than that, its like and good book/story.
