How to Nail Your Elevator Pitch and Show Up Confidently on Camera w/ Kim Rittberg


Listen Later

In this episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, I sit down with Kim Rittberg—award-winning TV producer, media expert, and video coach—to talk about how small business owners can finally show up confidently on camera without sounding robotic or overly rehearsed.

Kim has produced for Us Weekly, Netflix, and launched video units for major media outlets, but she swears by one thing: anyone can be good on camera with the right mindset, skill set, and practice. If you’ve ever frozen up during a Reel, dreaded pitching yourself on video, or wondered what to say in your elevator pitch—this episode is for you.

Mindset Shifts to Overcome Camera Shyness
Kim debunks the myth that only extroverts or TV-ready personalities can be confident on camera. Her framework helps you shift from “supermodel mode” (focused on appearance) to “teacher mode” (focused on message)—so you stop worrying about how you look and start focusing on what you’re saying.

Her 4S Framework to Shine on Video
You’ll learn Kim’s powerful 4S method:
✅ Soothe your nervous system through breathwork
✅ Strengthen your voice and posture
✅ Get Silly to shake off stiffness
✅ Smile to connect instantly with your audience

The ABCs of a Killer Elevator Pitch
Gloria and Kim break down the A-B-C method for crafting an unforgettable pitch:

  • Accomplishments: What makes you credible?
  • Business: What do you actually do (in plain English)?
  • Confidence: Say it like you mean it—then practice it until it flows.

Final Takeaway
Confidence isn’t reserved for celebrities or influencers—it’s built. If you want more visibility, clients, and impact, learning how to own your voice on camera is non-negotiable. You don’t need a fancy setup or a viral script—just clarity, practice, and your authentic self.
