unstudied

Without rehearsal beforehand

Unstudied describes something that appears natural or effortless rather than rehearsed or deliberate: an unstudied grace, unstudied charm.

The word suggests authenticity—behavior that hasn't been practiced or calculated.

Less commonly, unstudied means not having studied a subject: I'm unstudied in economics.
