it's either or, if you don't have the talent, you need the training. (and I need the training)

Training and building confidence over time. You need to have the tools though like modulated voice, desire to overcome fear, smile, and sincerity

As a public speaking trainer, experience shows that it’s predominantly training that makes the difference. For example, emergency first responders are trained in how to deal with emergencies, they do drills and the repetition creates a “second nature” with respect to handling an emergency situation. None of those behaviors, skills, or abilities are in-born. While public speaking is not an emergency, one can have a predisposition to “liking the limelight” or a passion for their topic, which can be something not necessarily learned through training – and that’s the other side of the coin.
However, in most cases, it’s training that makes the speaker and not any in-born ability.
