Winning Wednesdays with Pear VC: Speaking and Selling with Confidence
Join us as Arlo Hill shares about the critical importance of Vocal Presence!
About Vocal Presence
Ever feel like you're losing your audience during a pitch or presentation? Here's the thing:
Every founder spends time and energy planning what to say.
But the emotional impact of your words depends on how you deliver them.
Vocal Presence training harnesses techniques from the acting world to help founders embody confidence & authenticity while building strong connections—so people can't help but lean in and listen when you speak.
"This is a bit personal… but I think my voice has fundamentally changed. I don’t know what you did.'" —Morgan Ingram, Founder & CEO, 4x LinkedIn Top Voice
About this workshop
We'll be introducing some foundational voice & speech techniques that help leaders feel and perform at their best during high-pressure scenarios such as pitches and sales meetings. We'll discuss:
- How to develop a more resonant voice (and why it matters)
- How a sense of "presence" or "charisma" is an outcome of breath flow
- How vocal range & variety can turn a flat presentation into something exciting and suspenseful
