When you look at Jimmy Wales' earlier stuff, he really has improved. Much more dynamic, fluid and engaged with a nice variation of tone and pacing.

In a random example from five years ago, a fair amount of "um" and "uh" in the first two minutes before he really gets going:

Or from Wikimania 2005, quite nervous at the start:

My point being that as trainers and advocates for Wikipedia, we should all get better with practice. Jimmy Wales might look like a "natural" now, but he didn't start out as one.

Perhaps we should consider videoing our stuff more often, so that we can study ourselves in action and try to accelerate that learning process.

Jimmy Wales (as last guest) in really fun interview. Also, for those whose Norwegian is up to it Sven Goran-Erikson.
