I read off a script standing no probs so it may be warranted getting a stand or something to bring the pages up but if you check with old style radio drama/comedy(eg: Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, etc) — actors clustered around the mic with scripts in their hands on backing board.

I use a headset mic and record direct into my iRiver which means I can literaly walk anywhere. Thats’ my idea of podcasting — the other kind, sedentary — seems stuffy and formal and very much radio-speak. I baulk when I try to do it seated and screen focused as it makes me self conscious.

One problem with standing is that I will tend to get dramatic while upright and using my body to gesture which doesn’t always suit my db levels. (’Tis a thespian side effect)

This is the kind of stuff I'd been intending to present all along, but I got sidetracked. I'll try to keep it up because, honestly, it's <em>more fun</em> to talk about this sort of thing than it is to talk about myself or about What's Wrong With Podcasting, etc.</p> <p>(Not that the rest of it will go away.) </p> Thanks, BBMan.
