Animation industry pro Drew Tolman will show you how to get your story pitch polished and ready for the 2021 Pitch Week at MAGIC.

Come prepared with your pitch, but be prepared to work hard to improve it. This workshop is unique and it has been created for MAGIC students determined to bring their story into the light.

Pitching skills will allow you to tell your story and be persuasive in a clear way that will hold your audience captive, whether you’re pitching ideas, products, your company, or yourself. Why, then, do most pitches fall flat? They fail to engage the audience emotionally and be utterly irresistible when answering the audience’s all-important question of “what’s in it for me?”

What you need to do is structure and deliver your story in a very simple, straightforward way that reels people in, makes them care deeply about your topic, and gets them craving to hear what you’re offering. This applies to any delivery method – when writing, speaking one-on-one, or presenting to a group.
