Standing vs. Sitting on air

I realize this debate could go on until I'm too old to stand, but aside from the breathing I do think a lot of it is psychological & although your voice may sound no different, your performance will be different. If you move your arms or hands around while speaking, your performance will be different. If you make exaggerated facial expressions, your performance will be different. If you have photos of your family in front of you while on the air, your performance may be different than what it would be if you had a picture of the 7 dwarves. There are any number of devices people use that do affect their performance.

Can't argue with that. I agree.

Did you actually say you agreed with someone?

I agree with things that make sense. It doesn't happen often though. So print this out and hang it up on your wall. ;)
 
I've been to studios where they stick me in a room and I do the voiceovers standing up. That is fine. That is their particular setup and I have no problem with following their directions. Plus it''s only for a short amount of time anyway. I sure wouldn't want to do a whole air shift on my feet. I think it looks silly. Everyone is standing and they apppear to all be be standing simply because some guy 50 years ago says that it makes you sound better. Oh well...... I Guess it just comes down to personal preference.
 
I stand...seeing I learned that in voiceovers before radio...deeper sound...unless my back problem kicks in...and i can tell a difference when i listen to my show when i'm sitting as opposed to standing
