Abstract

Theatre is an important component of the city’s ecosystem. The work on the sound shape of a theatre performance stems from aesthetic, linguistic, and acoustic assumptions. The phonetic effects of an actor’s work on a role are a consequence of voice emission, diction, knowledge of the orthophonic rules of the language and the ability to use them in practice. They may also depend on the ideological assumptions of the theater or a particular performance. The article discusses selected segmental and prosodic phenomena of the wave space-time of a theatral performance.
