Confidence is key to success in so many different industries, but it's really the magic sauce when it comes to pitching your projects. We all know this, but when most of us open our mouths to begin a verbal pitch, we feel a significant amount of nerves. And sometimes, those nerves come through in our pitch and prevent us from connecting with the person listening to our story.
If this is something that you've struggled with, don't worry! Pepper Berry is here with an interactive session to help conquer nerves and build your confidence!
This 3 Hour Clinic Will Cover:
- Building your pitching confidence
- How to deliver your pitch in an engaging way
- Connecting with your audience
- Exercises and feedback on your pitch
- Live Q&A
Originally from Texas, Pepper Berry specializes in grounded ensemble TV comedies and features but longs to bring more musicals to the big screen because everything’s better with choreography. After studying film at Baylor University, Pepper started doing stand-up before moving to Los Angeles to study screenwriting at UCLA. His scripts along with some good old fashion cold calling eventually landed him his first development deal at Paramount as well as some serious interest from folks at Disney and Pixar.
He then fell into music playing in bands around the Los Angeles punk scene, touring the United States and recording albums for 15 years. Songs and albums garnered nominations for indie awards as well as appearing in films and video games.
Being a fan of SCTV, he began studying at The Second City Hollywood. He is now a graduate of The Second City, iO West, Upright Citizens Brigade, The Nerdist, Comedy Sportz LA, The Second City Directing program as well as studying at The Groundlings. He has performed improv around the country at various comedy festivals as well as teaching his workshops.
He is currently a teacher and director at The Second City as well as YADA where he teaches improv, sketch and acting. His musical "What Rhymes with Orange?" was the first premium children show to open for The Second City.
