The article is devoted to the methodological foundations of the development of articulatory expressiveness in the process of vocal training of future actors. The article summarizes the methodological work of foreign specialists and, based on their analysis, defines a system of factors for the development of articulation expressiveness of future actors in the process of their vocal training. The psychophysiological factors of the development of articulatory expressiveness in the process of vocal training of future actors are characterized, among which the level of speech hearing development, the structure of the articulatory apparatus, the development of vocal breathing, and vocal resonance are highlighted. Socio-cultural factors in the development of articulation expressiveness in the process of vocal training of future actors are characterized. It was determined that the actor’s articulation contains information of a psychological and everyday nature. The importance of dialectal phenomena in the process of developing articulatory expressiveness is emphasized in the article. Examples of the diversity of speech sound articulation depending on the sound environment are given in the article. The creative factors of the development of articulatory expressiveness in the process of vocal training of future actors are considered, which, in contrast to psychophysiological and sociocultural factors, are not everyday and mainly indicate the actor’s articulation. The meaning of "proposed circumstances", "vision" as well as language characteristics as a subjective method of language embodiment in the system of creative factors are characterized in the article. Emphasis is placed on the problem of the dependence of the actor’s diction on the quality of the text material. It is concluded that the development of articulation expressiveness in the process of vocal training of future actors is a purposeful process that is carried out under the control of highly qualified scientific and pedagogical workers and affects not only the content side of vocal performance, but also the language and performance itself, which is of undeniable importance for actors.
