When you're on the air, do you sit or stand? If you have hemmoroids do you then stand up if you are a sitter or do you still sit and squash them?

Out of three stations I've been on-air at, two were sitters and one was a stander. I think I liked the stander better. But, I think that comes from a musician's background of being able to move more air and sound more robust standing as opposed to sitting.
With regard to the hemorrhoid (sp?) question, never been there. However, I feel like I could say that if I had been there at a sittin' station, there would have been plenty of pillows.

I've worked at both types, including hybrids where the studio was meant for standing but you had a tall chair so you could sit. At most stations I've worked, they prefer you to stand, when possible, when you're on the mic and/or the phones. As for the hemmorhoid issue, I had problems with them until I started losing weight (total weight lost = 40 lbs). My doctor told me to stand as often as possible when I was having problems.

No 'roids to speak of as yet.
I've heard arguments from both sides. I've found that when I sit and lean forward on my diaphragm, I tend to get more resonance vocally. Only drawback is you have to breathe a little more often, and breaths are something you have to do as little of as possible when the mic is open. If given a choice, probably stand.

If given a choice, probably stand.I've always found that standing does something to your energy level, those who stand tend to sound more "up". It has also been my experience that standing also takes away from concentration slightly, some people get a little more nervous standing vs sitting. In the days of 3 hour jock shifts, one could stand the whole shift and be energetic. Today with live shifts often 4, 5, or more hours, it's a bit difficult to be on your feet that long.
