Abstract

This project is meant to gather a proper base of theoretical studies on the understanding of the actors vocal expression as a means to the proper appropriation of the text. It is intended to be researched methods and concepts among artists and theorists of the theater who propose a poetic understanding of the vocal action, so that it is possible to understand how an actor can and must work his voice in order to make his scenic discourse - the representation of the text - a poetic action.
