It is hard to imagine how to plan for the moments like the one you described above. I can imagine there is a lot more that makes it feel like a risky move if a speaker plans out a thing that is mostly effective because it was spontaneous.

The spontaneity helped, the most effective part was in having the audience feel the nervous emotion.

Yes but might it feel a bit contrived if this example wasn't done spontaneously?
