How to read your writing in public

My writing won't be? ready for reading in public (or even letting others read it) for a long time, but this is a very useful video nonetheless. I think recording yourself in private can help as well. Question, if you don't mind: when given the choice, do you prefer standing or sitting while reading out your work and why?

You know, I've never really thought about it. I think, probably standing up, but it kind of depends on what you're reading. Sitting down can be good? for longer pieces, but if its more of a performance per se, it's good to stand up so you can be more physical with it.
