IMPLEMENTATION OF MODERN VOCAL TECHNIQUES IN THE TRAINING PROCESS OF FUTURE ACTORS

Abstract

The aim of the work. The article is devoted to exploring the significance of the voice as a tool of expressiveness in theatrical art and to substantiating the relevance of implementing modern vocal techniques in the professional training of actors to enhance their vocal abilities. The research methodology is determined by the nature of the studied problem and is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines the analysis of modern vocal techniques, theoretical examination of scientific sources, and practical generalization of pedagogical experience in actor training. The scientific novelty lies in the perspective of the chosen topic, its relevance, and its place within both the music-theoretical and performance processes. The study highlights innovative approaches to the development of the actor's voice in the context of contemporary theatre, emphasizes the uniqueness of each vocal technique, and explores their potential for shaping a stage voice capable of a wide range of emotional, timbral, and technical expression. Conclusions. Modern vocal techniques significantly expand the actor's vocal capabilities, enhancing endurance, flexibility, and stage authenticity. In particular, the Estill Voice Training technique promotes conscious control of the vocal apparatus through a detailed anatomical model. The Complete Vocal Technique provides mastery of a wide range of vocal effects and sounds, which is especially valuable for actors in musical theatre and musicals. The Speech Level Singing technique helps preserve the natural sound of the voice across different registers without strain, which is crucial for stage endurance. In turn, the Linklater Voice Technique focuses on releasing the natural voice by removing physical and psychological blocks, ensuring the sincerity of stage speech. Equally significant are the Fitzmaurice Voicework and Roy Hart Theatre Voice Work techniques, which integrate physicality, breath, and expression, allowing actors to go beyond traditional vocal sound and explore the unique "self" of each voice. Integrating these techniques into the educational process contributes to the development of a multifaceted, free, and technically trained stage voice that meets the demands of contemporary theatre.
