Forget “At Ease”

Published by at 3:25 pm under Advice

Though many of us have been told to stand in an “At Ease” position, such a stance is anything but “At Ease”.With legs apart and knees locked, one cannot stand for long periods of time without rocking, swaying, shifting, or bouncing. Such movement causes distraction to the audience and tires the speaker. Instead, stand with weight evenly balanced on both legs, placing one foot slightly forward of the other and keeping your knees flexed.You will be able to hold that position for long periods of time without tiring or succumbing to unnecessary and distracting movement.
