Confidence is captivating.  This is one of the most noticeable elements of a presentation.  Confidence says you know what you’re saying, that you have prepared for the occasion, that you have experience in doing this.

Authenticity also plays a significant role when trying to capture an audience.  Some people can tell whether one is talking about something authentic.  Sincerity is something that is very difficult to fake.  One way to achieve authenticity is starting off with a short quip about yourself or a memory that is relevant to your topic.
