2. Well-constructed pitch is visual, quick and easy to portray the show’s central characters and the core concept.

3. Think about how you could describe your show to your listeners, so they could see saleable aspects of the show.

• Introduce the characters.
• Explain what the pilot is about.
• Be authentic and help your listeners connect emotionally with the characters.
• You will have to talk about how many episodes you have planned.
