I used to wing it a lot more, and went through a similar experience with some flops. IMO that's a key part of becoming better and better at something: admitting that you always could benefit from more work at it. Talent is a great place to start, but it's not how you get better.

I doubt I could ever lose the jitters. Look at Romney and Obama, you could tell that even they were each a bit tense at the beginning of the first debate, and they have given hundreds, if not thousands, of speeches.
