I've done a fair amount of this stuff including live TV with Q&A's after a presentation. After reviewing the video tape, I can always spot an error of two. Nobody notices. Nobody cares. You're just giving them a "feel" to help increase the audiences understanding.

Relax. It doesn't have to be perfect. Speak slowly as if you're explaining things to some of us. You'll do great.

+1 on what Noah930 said about you knowing more than those you are addressing. I figured that out a long time ago and it did a lot to calm my nerves when speaking to a group. One additional thing about talking to a group, don't mention stuff you can't back up or expand on if asked a question. Also remember they aren't there to be unfriendly, so talk and feel as if you are addressing a receptive group. Good luck. You'll probably find it wasn't as bad as you feared afterwards.

Keep it short and as has been said...talk slowly and carefully. And don't forget to smile!

The first two words out of your mouth should always be, "it depends..."

Then immediately start with technical jargon talking at a high rate of speed. Then interrupt the interviewer when they try to ask a question or interject. Then pretend to get a call on your cell phone, look at the camera, and say, "sorry, I have to take this..."

No problem. Knock it out of the park without using a teleprompter......




...or just stand there, drool, and go "derpa derpa derp".

If you think "Lots of people are watching" your mind is distracted.

Talk only to the interviewer, and keep the mind focused on the topic. Just a one-on-one conversation, and you're the eggspurt. The cameraman is just background stuff that doesn't matter.
