“LIFE IS A PITCH!”
What is this about?
- Channeling your inner genius to find a brilliant idea - fun!
- Working 24/7 to make this idea a reality - hard work!
- Watching people fall asleep when you pitch in public - heartbreaking!
You are not a born public speaker? Don’t worry! Here is what you need:
SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS
- Structure of the pitch
- Storytelling
- Saying the things investors need to hear
- Clear and understandable slides
- Making the pitch compellig (adding humor/intrigue/emotion)
SAYING THINGS RIGHT
- Being aware of actions on stage
- Choreography /mis-en scène /rhetoric
- Actual communication with the audience
- Proper use of voice - “your mouth as a tool”
- “What does your body tell your audience without telling you?”
- Improvising to avoid blackouts on stage
