I was brought up playing instruments...piano, saxophone, guitar, etc., but I never got any coaching with a call even though I duck and goose hunted so much in high school.

I'd suggest recording yourself on tape or digital or whatever you have so you can play it back to yourself and hear what you really sound like. I learned while playing instruments that my brain somehow makes me sound better in the moment than when I hear myself after the fact on a recording. It's as if my brain wants to fill in the deficiencies so I don't notice them. Once you step outside hearing yourself in your own head in the moment, to listening to yourself on tape, you can really start evaluating yourself critically and start learning from yourself. Again, I never got any teaching with this regarding waterfowl calling, but with musical instruments, this has helped me immensely.
