Choose one talk to watch. If you have headphones, watch with sound. If not, watch on mute. 3. What did you notice? If you watched the talk with headphones, comment on the speaker’s language, pace and tone . If you watched the talk on mute, comment on the speaker’s dress, posture, eye contact and gestures .

  13. Image Body language  Make eye contact Tip: Eye contact helps you to gauge your audience’s reaction  Project confidence with your posture and movement  Use movement to highlight emphasis and demonstrate passion for your project Tip: This can also help you to work off nerves Tone  Use tone to generate interest and emphasis Tip: Tell your story – don’t memorise it Pace  Too slow is better than too fast  Use pauses for reflection and emphasis Tip: Reduce your pitch to a succinct, clear message

  14. Pitch Your role involves initiating discussion with your audience Opening line: Hi, I'm x. Would you like to know more about our project? Hi, I'm x. What are you interested in? Hi, I'm x. What would you like to know more about?

  15. Pitch Prepare an elevator pitch to explain your project in 30 seconds Try to include these three elements: 1. What’s the most important thing you want them to know about your project? 2. Why should they be interested in your project? 3. End with a sentence that opens up the conversation – leave them wanting more Tip: Be human and natural – this should appear like a conversation, not a pure sales pitch

  16. Pitch 'When you want to get good at something, how you spend your time practising is far more important than the amount of time you spend' (Foer, 2012, p.171)

  17. Pitch Practise giving your pitch to a member of a different team Offer each other feedback on:  eye contact  posture  movement Use the feedback you receive to  tone purposefully practise your pitch  pace  emphasis  pronunciation  language
