You can rent a sheet metal "nibbler" which does the job cleanly and quickly.

Heartbreak - He cant love you, Promise, True Man, Off of 2001's Jagged Little Thrill - Can We be Tight, Head of the Household, Goodbye, Off of 2003's - Hard - Walked out of Heaven ,Whats It Like, Trying to Find the Words Off of 2006's Jagged Edge - Good Luck Charm, So Amazing

If you want a good cut and it is square or round you have to use MI and M2 right and left hand snips. Buy a good set like WISS. If you buy a cheap set you will get a cheap type cut

You are probably using the wrong shears. There are different shears for different cuts. The original work was probably done with a plasma cutting machine that is computer guided that's why the cut looks so straight.

I don't know if your using round or square ducts. For round they have circle cutters that do a nice perfect cut. For square, it takes a good quality shear. Electric or air powered will work good or even better than hand held.

I personally think it's the way that you are cutting. Try doing long cuts and not a bunch of rapid little cuts. Also, you should fold the cuts back to have a smooth line for the connection.

Use electric shears. There are standalone models as well as drill attachments. They give you a very clean edge.

You could try a duct slicer:
