Come as you are. Emulating some Ted talk is unnecessary when you can tap into your own personality, add your own idiosyncratic twist on things. Public speaking gets better over time, the more you do it. You learn to drop your ego and forget the audience and are just there to spread knowledge, which is what all talks and presentations really should be about: sharing information and knowledge. It helps if you add humor, as the occasional meme spliced with your talk will speak magnitudes of volume than a boring (non-humorous) slide.
