what would the right attitude clothing and conduct be…i haven't had a job that required talking to people
First, you should commence communicating. If it is not so effective in the beginning, you would realise it soon and you can make amends by putting across to them what you wanted to convey in a different, better fashion. Slowly, you will learn them yourself and master the art.
By learning the techniques from others, you will never be able to progress. You have the talent inherent. Exploit it. You will do that without your knowing. All the best.

According to research I've done, the most effective communication skill is not what you say, but how it's said. Having said that let me give you some ideas.
SMILE – it communicates much more than almost anything else you can do. It reflects your attitude. It means you like who you're talking to and gives you the greatest chance of being liked back by whoever you're talking to.
Since LISTENING is about 90% of good communication – listen to others. Get them talking by asking questions. I'm sure you've been impressed by a good communicator who listened to your ideas. Trust me when I say that you will seem like a great communicator if you can follow someone else’s conversation and appropriately respond with pertinent questions back to them because you have listened. Don't try to think of something to say – just listen. When you need to say something it will be better formulated and articulated because you have listened and asked questions.
Wear clothing that is appropriate. That may or may not be a dress or tie. For the most part, dress like co-workers or customers. People will feel more comfortable communicating with you if you’ll take that simple advice.
Just my two cents worth as an old corporate trainer. Good luck in your quest.
