The Speaker's Triangle is performance based rhetorical device used in academic and competitive speech presentation. When a speaker uses a speaker's triangle they simultaneously speak a transition statement while physically moving to a different point in the room. [1]. When a presenter uses the speaker's triangle, positions on the stage serve to guide both the speaker and the audience through the main points of the speech. The speaker’s triangle indicates where the speaker starts in the introduction, moves to the second position for the first point, across for the second point, then returns to the original position to make the third point and conclusion. Using a speaker's triangle in a speech is beneficial for several reasons including improving memorization [2], enhancing eye-contact though an improved zone of interaction [3], and establishing ethos with an audience [1] [4].
