Vlogging: Standing up or sitting down?

[Christopher Johnson]

I prefer standing up, I can be more mobile that way

That's funny because I always thought the opposite. When I sat down for my vlogs I wanted the feeling like I was sitting across the table talking to you directly. When I stand up I feel like I can animate my body more haha.

I agree! When you're standing you can be more animated, etc. therefore it looks like you have more energy. Sitting down is definitely more intimate.

Cool! I myself prefer standing up, because when you sit down, it feels "still" , and probably a bit more boring but when you stand up, it feel more animated (as you guys said)

Up until my latest video, I've always sat down but now I've tried standing, I seem to prefer it.

Well. i started out standing when i first started vlogs but now i just sit in front of my desk or window because its alot easier for me to get lighting or shot i want.

I don't have a tripod yet (amateur hour!) so it's basically whatever position is level with where I can perch the camera!

I'd probably prefer to stand up though, if I had the choice. Don't really care too much when watching others though. In fact, I don't tend to notice really.

I stand up. It helps me have more movement and be more interesting

I like sitting down I used to do vlogs standing up but I moved to much does any one else have trouble talking in their videos? I do for some reason I keep getting mind blanks there is a big difference between my singing and talking my singing is better

I like to have some notes on what I am going to talk about nearby, so I don't miss anything. Just a few points on a bit of paper. That helps me avoid mind blanks, so I don't miss anything.

To answer the OP, I am a standup vlogger. I move around a lot, and I like that. I used to be a part of a collab channel, and I would sit down, and my energy wasn't as good, and it just felt awkward. Also, I'm not sure what it is, but I feel like my voice is louder when I stand up. I don't know. That's probably in my head.

I sat down at first, but my desk got moved downstairs whilst I cleared out my room, so my latest video was done standing up because I didn't have much of a choice, but I preferred to stand, I felt like I had more energy and felt more comfortable in a way.
