Just be sure to know your stuff, i.e. whatever you are going to present and you can't go wrong

Any tips for avoiding nerves and making a tit of myself? I realise the trolls of mtf will come in here, but genuine advice is appreciated
Practice helps a lot, but I guess you don't have it much, thus the question.
* Good command of the subject should infuse confidence in you
* Humorous elements in the presentation should relax both the audience and yourself
* NEVER look unsure even if you are. People will more pay attention to how you look than what you really say. If you say something wrong it is not as bad as behaving wrong. To avoid that situation, try to imagine the audience as a bunch of halfwit chickens

This is really interesting! Thank you You are so right, at the end of the day they won't know what I'm talking about as much as I will, so acting like all is ok even when is not should do the trick.

Btw, even if it doesn't go flawlessly at some point no need to freak out, check how Phil Collins shrugged off a wrong note (1:09) in front of packed Wembley, like a boss

Don't neg rep me for no reason at all, then maybe you'll do okay in your presentations. Seriously have no idea how my post warranted a neg rep you mug.
Carry a flask of Johnny Walker with you, before presentation, take a few swigs and pop some breath mints in your mouth. That's how I did it in uni. I was GOAT at giving speeches/presentations

I got a really good mark in my uni one for blabbing lots of irrelevant jargon in each subject/section. I got high points for confidence/assertiveness and for how smoothly it ran.

If you can't avoid nerves naturally, go out and party the night before and go into your presentation mildly drunk (ie drunk enough that your toungue will be loose, but not so drunk that you have no control over your actions).
