Move about theroom as youwould like.

Unless you’re being videotaped or are positioning yourself so that hearing-impaired members of the audience can lip read your message, there’s no significant reason for locking yourself in one particular place. Establish a reasonable radius for yourself (no speaking from the hall, please) within which you can move, and move within that radius. This practice is also useful for keeping your audience awake because they’ll have to move their heads to follow you.
