People often rock from side to side or shift foot positions when standing. Again, this is perfectly normal reaction, but it’s undesirable in a production environment.

Movements like this make you look uneasy which if you’re swaying from side to side, you probably are.

It’s a bit like the eye contact and body movement discussed earlier on. Animated gestures in a production are fine as part of our communication is expressed with hand movements. Awkward looking swaying or shuffling aren’t.

As you get to start of the take, spend a few moments warming up. Stretches, bends, jumps. Anything to shake off your fatigue. The goal is to be both mentally and physically alert.

If you still rock or sway, the producer can provide you with a foot rest (to rest one foot on), or anchor you in your chair in some fashion.

When you are ready to bring your presentations in-house, use professional teleprompter software . . . it will make a huge difference to the success of your production.
