What is a 60 Second Pitch? For 60 seconds, participants be pitching their services,letting everyone know who they are, what exactly it is that they do and how theirproduct or service can make a difference in the lives of other people and positivelyaffect how others do business. A 60 Second Pitch, also known as the "ElevatorPitch" is a quick and precise verbal presentation of a need that people have and whythey should be fulfilling that need through the person who is pitching.
The name Elevator Pitch comes from the amount of time someone has to impress anotherperson on the way to the top floor when seeking out investment from venturecapitalists in ritzy metropolitan offices. Within that precious minute, a personneeds to not only convey who they are, what they do, and how their business is theperfect fit for a market or niche, but the individual also needs to express thatinformation convincingly, intelligibly, and with passion while not appearingblatantly salesy.
Communicating the message itself is a challenge let alone having to defineeverything in the first place. Recognizing this as the case, Voices.com is offeringa webinar for those competing in the contest that will give them tips on how toprepare, craft and present their pitch for consideration.
The contest is open to everyone in the voice over industry including voice actors,voice over coaches, voice talent agents, audio producers and so on. Participantscan submit their MP3 pitches via email to Voices.com to enter the 60 Second Pitchcontest.
Winners will be announced on Friday July 27, 2007 via podcast on VOX Talk, the #1voice over industry entertainment podcast presented by Voices.com.
