When I did orals in class, I had a tendency to say "um" a lot. How do I prevent that during my IA?

My topic is simply "Hugo Chavez." 
I'm giving mine on the 15th, and I haven't really started yet.
As far as "ums" go, I think that you just have to get used to speaking Spanish, but if you think about it, native speakers still say "um" when speaking English, so I suppose it isn't as bad as it seems. Also, as long as verbal jargon doesn't greatly affect the clarity of the presentation, you can't be marked down for it, so a couple "ums" here and there shouldn't be detrimental at all. Grammar and vocabulary are the areas you have to watch out for.

My teacher said to say "Un momento por favor, estoy pensado" when we're having a tip of the tongue moment. That way there's not such an awkward pause in the middle of our IAs. Makes sense to me. Also, if they ask you a question that you don't understand then ask "puede repitir con otras palabras por favor" or something along those lines. It's certainly not bad to know how to work with what you know how to do, especially on the fly.
