As an audience member, I need to hear WHY you are credible, why are you an expert and why should I listen to you rather than finish my Chemistry homework? How is your research relevent? Just because you looked something up in the dictionary, doesn't mean you did research...If you ask us, the audience a question, call on some one to answer your question. Dance, sing, tell me about mimes and podcasting...wear bright colors, type your bibliography and remember, I am an Aries....
well as an audience member i like it when the speaker has visual aids. even when they explain a funny story that has to do with their topic is good. things that get our attention are always good. or at least get us involved into the speech thats always fun.

As an audience member, I would just like to know that the speaker is interested in what they are talking about- or at least pretends they are interested.

So if you're going to get up their and rattle on about a subject, pick one that you can talk about from so knowledge or interest so that you will A. Not stare at your paper. B. Get flustered by. and C. Make us fall asleep or do our homework.
