Dear NG,

Well, learning to give good talks takes time. The fact that
you want to improve is a good thing - we all know people
who've continued to give bad talks for decades (in some
cases they're awesome enough that people nonetheless want
them to continue, in some cases people wish they'd just
shut up already.)

Without mentioning any names, how about some examples? It would be
enlightening to hear people's experiences with good and bad talks.
