About this tool
Reading a pitch off a page and actually delivering it out loud, at the right pace, are two different skills, and most people rush through it the first few times they practice. This tool takes a finished elevator pitch and formats it with pause markers and emphasis notes, turning it into something you can rehearse from like an actual script rather than a block of text. It's meant to be the last step after you've already written and tightened your pitch using the other tools in this batch.
Frequently asked questions
What do the bracketed notes mean?+
Notes like [pause] and [emphasize] are delivery cues showing where to slow down, stop briefly, or stress a word — they're not meant to be spoken aloud themselves.
Can I use this to practice a pitch I haven't finalized yet?+
It works best on a pitch you're mostly happy with, since the goal here is delivery practice, not content editing — use the other pitch tools first to finalize wording.
Will it tell me how long the pitch takes to say?+
It doesn't include a timestamp, but the pacing notes are designed to naturally land around a comfortable 30-second delivery when read at a normal speaking pace.
