Mumbrella360 video: NIDA presents – Pitching to win
In the wrap-up of Mumbrella360 on June 7-9, 2016, we revisit highlights from the annual event.
Forget slides and projectors to pitch ideas, nothing sells your ideas better than you can.
This seminar features acting and directing techniques used and approved by the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) designed to improve your pitching style and effectiveness.
Examine the physical, vocal and imaginative techniques that actors use to present with confidence and authority, and then apply the elements of energy, intention and focus to your pitch.
This interactive session is presented by NIDA’s corporate coach Darren Gilshenan.
