I feel I'm seemingly talentless. I mean i get good grades... but anyone can do that. My question is what is talent? Is it something natural, something a person is born with or does it come through practice? How can i gain talent?

Let's make a clear distinction between "skill" and "talent."
Skill is craft and technique. It is taught, refined, honed and developed. I'd lean on the word "craft" in this definition.
Talent is intelligence, confidence and natural ability. Even though, I hesitate to use that term. It's too easy to fall back on thinking someone is gifted, when really that isn't necessarily true.
Talent is being able to manipulate one's skills. Almost 85% of art-making is skill-based. Ballet Dancers are entrenched in technique -- it is the Prima Ballerina that takes that craft and displays talent, the upper 15%, to make it Star Time.

That's like asking what is beauty. Beauty and talent are in the eyes of the beholder. Meaning, you may think that your not talented in a specific area, but there may be someone else that thinks you do. Don't get hung up on talent. Do the best you can at what you enjoy doing. If others don't recognize your abilities don't use that as a measuring stick representing your talent or abilities. What truly matters is that your doing the best that you can. Through perseverance you'll find your nitch in the area that you are pursuing. Until then do your best.

Talent is a combination of being able to control your body and willing yourself to do what it takes to further yourself. Without one or the other, you can't get the full picture. You can learn talent, but it must be your focus and you must be willing to break old habits and release your ego so that you may be molded into one with talent. In short, talent is part-born, part-learned; either way takes determination and effort.

a little bit of natural and a lot of practice. There are millions of things you can be talented in. Find something you love and focus your attention on that.

I think talent is something you are born with. Anyone can sing, but only someone with talent can sing well. A skill can be taught or learned and your skill can be increased with practice, but a talent is something you just have.
