When you know a whole bunch about a subject, that can happen. It just takes
practice. And writing an outline first.
If you want to get good at this, write a page-long lesson on anything you
like, twice a week, starting with an outline. In a few weeks, you should be
able to finish the whole essay in 20 minutes. Show it to someone else each
time, and ask where it was confusing. In six months, you'll be able to sit
down and whip out an essay that's comprehensible on pretty much any topic
you know about (and not unlikely a whole bunch you know nothing about) in
half an hour.

Yep. Very important.

That's what a good high school is for. ;-)

I would think you learn by sitting with other professional sound engineers.
I wouldn't think "sound engineer" is something you could read about.
