So I accidentally missed the deadline on the first elevator pitch so here is my first attempt! I did, however, watch a few and read the feedback given on those. I am not a natural born sales person so I'm sure I look pretty awkward in the video but I tried! I know that the main thing was to not sit at the computer and record yourself so I tried to position my computer to get a good angle of me standing and move around a little bit but it is hard with a small range of view!

I tried watching the video, but it said the youtube page wasn't available (can't give too much feedback on that). I can say that standing will make a big difference in how you project your voice compared to sitting (at least for most people/people who aren't orators). I know that I'm always better at making sales pitches when I downplay the situation and try "not to care." It makes me act a little more natural and I usually end up sounding more eloquent than when I'm consciously focusing on myself speaking.
