job interview presentation - going over time

I'm trying to practice the presentation I have to give for my job interview. I have 15 minutes and I'm talking for nearly 30 mins :(

I am aware that I am reading off the slides but at the same time I will need to explain what's on the slides iyswim?

How on earth am I going to keep it short? I've already emailed them a copy of my presentation in advance as requested so I can't really change it now.

I'm really panicking now as presentation skills are a big part of the job and normally I do fine but for this one I keep going over time or rushing/talking fast to get it all in.

Help appreciated!

I see this has had happy outcome - congratulations. I was about to say that going over time on presentations is an absolute no-no when I am assessing a candidate. If chairing I would also cut the person off at the time limit (with a 2 minute warning)
